EP 76: Transforming Childhood Anxiety with the Nixon Sisters


Listen Later

Episode 76

Anxiety in general, but especially in young people and children, is on the rise. That's why I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with the remarkable Nixon sisters, Emma and Laura, who are pioneering the way we support children grappling with anxiety in the classroom. Our dialogue sheds light on the complex factors contributing to this epidemic, highlighting the residual effects of the pandemic, the digital age, and lifestyle changes. But beyond diagnosing the problem, we're here to offer teachers and parents the tools they need, like the Emotional Freedom Technique, to not only manage but to transform the emotional wellbeing of our children.

We talk about teaching emotional awareness and regulation in our children when we are still learning it in ourselves, the importance of addressing anxiety and stress physically, not just mentally, and look at the toolkit they have created for addressing anxiety in schools like Flexit and the Connection Cone.

This is a vital conversation for anyone looking to equip the next generation with the emotional toolkit they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Join us in this enlightening journey toward a future where our children's mental health is not just preserved but flourished.
