Archive for April, 2011Why Do Kids Need Panic Attack Intervention?The term ‘anxiety disorders’ generally brings to mind visions of harassed stock traders, parents struggling to meet the demands of work and children or those who have been diagnosed with psychological problems or anxiety attacks. Schoolchildren do not seem to fit this characterization at all! They are, of course, young. Children haven't had enough life experience to have subjected to those tragic “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. What could youngsters conceivably have to be worried, depressed or anxious about? And anyway, schoolchildren are optimistic. They bounce back from practically anything. Right? Then what is all this brouhaha about early intervention for stress disorders? By means of dispelling some of the myths, let’s look at the facts. Studies have indicated that approximately 15 to 25 percent of schoolchildren aged from 8 years to 17 years will be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Obviously, it is normal to face some amount of concern in our day-to-day lives, a smaller number ofyoungsters will be faced with anxiety to the degree that it prevents their capability to succeed in daily life across a protracted period of time. It seems natural that a young person who is anxious will be less likely to do well in school. Logic would also help us reach the conclusion that an anxious kid is less likely to thrive in group situations. Indeed, researchers have found that a reduction in anxiety levels does have generalized pay-offs for schoolchildren, including a boost in academic performance and better social standing. The previous fifteen years has seen the evolution of effective treatment interventions for children afflicted with anxiety disorders. In particular, a variety of cognitive-behavioural intervention alternatives have resulted in successful outcomes. One of the most beneficial behavioural elements of treatment has proven to be the implementation of relaxation techniques. Fortunately there are a wide selection of outstanding resources available to provide assistance in teaching kids these techniques. And these strategies can be learned at school or at home. As it happens, most practitioners recommend the direct teaching of these exercises to all kids as they can act as a preventative measure against the future onset of anxiety disorders. |

Archive for April, 2011Stress Attacks: Schoolchildren Benefit From Being Taught OptimismThe concept of resilient thinking has been quite the word in vogue in child development circles during the past few years. Specifically, resiliency is generally established as a key element in combating a number of mental health issues and panic attacks symptoms. Building optimistic thinking has, therefore, been categorized as a notable factor in several panic attacks treatments. But what is resilient thinking? Optimistic thinking is the character trait that enables individuals to pick oneself up from setbacks. Notwithstanding challenges, resilient thinking enablespersons to endure and thrive. Resilient thinkingcan also be a vaccination stave off the emergence of anxiety disorders, depression and panic attacks. Children can be taught resiliency as a significant instrument for dealing effectively with any obstacle that the universe aims at them. And if children have coping skills, they may well stop the necessity of panic attacks treatment in their future life. Keys for helping children to build resiliency: 1. Teach Social Networks Instruct kids how to make friends and how to respond to bullies. Strengthen family and community networks. Establish a feeling of belonging to family, clubs, church, school or other institutions. 2. Advocate kindness to other people. Assisting other people can be a wonderful life experience. It shows children that they possess qualities that will benefit other people and that they are part of a more extensive population. 3. Keep to daily routines. A maintained schedule provides stability and a feeling of safety in a young person’s life. In times of uncertainty, continuing to play a part in these fixed routines is often the constant that accelerates a return to day-to-day life. 4. Develop adaptability. Notwithstanding the fact that fixed schedules are helpful, our world throws us a barrier. Instruct schoolchildren to be comfortable with change, to hold back vexation and rage responses, and to talk about their feelings. Take time out and do some relaxation techniques at home. 5. Teach ‘Directed Independence’. Support schoolchildren to safekeep themselves and allow them to participate in family decisions within age appropriate limits. Guide them to solve problems step by step, understanding the impact on all who are involved. 6. Become An Expert At ‘Goal Doing’. Setting goals is only piece of the procedure. Something must be finished to really achieve these objectives if schoolchildren are to have success. Teach young people to shrink goals into achievable short-term tasks and to continue with action to accomplish them. 7. Develop self-esteem. Teach your sons and daughters to celebrate their strengths and to be accepting of their flaws. Guide them to acknowledge the significance of their differentness. Teach schoolchildren that they have dealt well with previous hurdles. 8. Take away the ‘catastrophe’. Sometimes all of us are apt} to imagine that our problems or hurdles are the end of everything. Instruct children to disagree with the belief that the situation could not be any worse and to place problems into perspective. 9. Teach a feeling of self-control. Instruct yourkids that they can maintain self-restraint, even in cases when things are not the way they should be. Teach young people to stop, think and formulate a means for succeeding. These strategies can be used by parents to help their children to establish the resilient thinking that can immunize them against the possibility of a variety of mental illnesses in addition to panic attacks symptoms. It goes without saying, the onset of these problems is somewhat complex and there is no certainty that the preceding recommendations will comprise a total ‘inoculation’. However, it is as clear as day that children who are positive do deal with the vicissitudes of life far better than those who are not. In that way, using these methods can provide your children with a head start in coping with all of life’s difficulties. |

Archive for April, 2011Use NLP to become Condfident when Delivering a SpeechDo you have a fear of public speaking? Many do, public speaking is one of the most common phobias along with spiders out there. As a Life Coach, many clients come to me looking for over come there fears and when delivering a public speech to ensure they come across as professional as possible. NLP uses several various techniques to help you overcome fears and phobias, today we will discuss the NLP Technique; The Circle of Excellence, which was originally designed to help people access self-confidence when giving speeches. The Circle of Excellence is a spatial anchor whereby you draw an imaginary circle on the floor which you ‘stepped in-to’ to install new and additional resources such as confidence. The C.O.E. can be used to summon up the confidence to perform a skill of task to the very best of your ability. You can use it if you have a fear of public speaking, before an interview or important meeting, to play your best shot in sport and in many other instances. If you are new to NLP techniques, read the guide first before completing it. How is your posture and breathing right now? Notice the position of your feet and hands, the tilt of your head. When the feeling of confidence is at its fullest, step out of the circle and leave your positive confident feelings, colours and sounds inside the circle. As you step out of the CEO- Break stat, by shaking off.
This means that you’ve already reprogrammed yourself for that upcoming situation and you are already feeling better resourced for it. When the time comes you will naturally feel more confident and if you want to add more power to those positive feeling, your circle of excellence is only ever one footstep away. This technique needs to be practiced at least 3 times fro it to be fully effective, I often use the CEO to get me in the right frame of mind when completing working task such as my CV Writing Service or preparing to see a Life Coaching in Manchester client, as a always perform at a better rate when I am confident and feeling positive. |
