Help Yourself and Your Anxious Child with a Quiet Day.

August 2, 2018 by Karen Lynne

Help Yourself and Your Anxious Child with a Quiet Day.

Yesterday I found myself laughing at a comedienne whose whole sketch was about old telephones. He made fun of the fact that we would answer the phone, not knowing who was on the other end, and say our number, then hello, then share who was speaking. I giggled as I remembered doing this.

“You are….” is a Powerful Phrase. Use it wisely

In effect she was taking the naughty step technique and applying it in the middle of the supermarket. The problem with stopping their unwanted behaviour in […]

Did Donald Trump Deliberately Disrespect the Queen?

What people are saying…

Karen started working with my 15 year old daughter when she became very anxious and was struggling to cope with the usual demands of school and home life. As her mother it was a very difficult time - with all the will in the world I seemed unable to help her. When Karen started working with her however, there was an immediate shift for the better.
