Quotes to ponder:
"Anxiety is a signal, not a sentence. It's your body's way of telling you that something needs to be noticed and perhaps changed."
"Worry exaggerates and threatens with worst-case scenarios that are unlikely to happen. Teach your child to stand up to worries by using the NED approach: Notice, Externalize, and Dispute the worry."
"Empathy creates the safety that is essential for emotional expression. Laughter changes the body chemistry to decrease stress hormones that contribute to anxiety."
