Student Anxiety: Addressing Fear in the Classroom Part One


Listen Later

"There are plenty of reasons to be fearful in this world, but there are bigger reasons to trust the Lord and His sovereignty, because he has not lost control just because the world has." — Dr. Bruce Meyer

"The harder the person resists the feelings, the worse they get .... All I'm doing is feeding that fear even more. Instead, I need to really shift my focus away." — Dr. Bruce Meyer

 

Fear is a natural response. The crucial part is how one handles it. In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast, Jenny explores the pervasive issue of fear and anxiety among students and how it impacts their lives.  To guide us through this important conversation, Jenny is joined by Dr. Bruce Meyer, an educator and counselor with over three decades of experience.  

 

In a world with competing voices, Dr. Meyer stands out as someone who speaks truth with compassion, grounded in the power of God’s word. His insights, specifically in the area of counseling, offer valuable guidance not only to students but also to educators and leaders alike.  Dr. Meyer provides practical strategies to help overcome fear, including:

 

  • What is fear? 
  • Are all fears bad? 
  • Biblical fear vs. unbiblical fear
  • Panic attacks — what are they, and how do we deal with them? 
  • The role of medication
  •  

    Dr. Meyer and Jenny have more to discuss around the subject of fear and anxiety in Part Two, specifically how to walk young people through fearful moments and habits. Stay tuned for the next episode. 

     

    Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God's power and grace working in you. 

     

    Go do what God has called you to do!



    "If my fear prevents me now from sharing the truth of the gospel with someone who is near me, that's an unbiblical fear." — Dr. Bruce Meyer
