Dr. Becky: 本期节目讨论了如何帮助焦虑不安的儿童。她认为，简单的安抚和回避并不能解决问题，反而可能加剧焦虑。她建议父母尝试理解孩子的想法，并与孩子一起探索焦虑的根源。她还分享了一些具体的沟通技巧，例如承认孩子的感受，并帮助孩子学会自我调节。 Dr. Becky 强调，父母不应该试图消除孩子的焦虑，而应该帮助孩子学会与焦虑共处。她建议父母将焦虑视为孩子的一部分，而不是全部。她还建议父母以轻松幽默的方式来应对焦虑，例如给焦虑的情绪赋予一个名字，并将其视为孩子的一个伙伴。 Dr. Becky 还建议父母学习如何应对自身的焦虑，并将其应用于与孩子的互动中。她认为，父母的情绪调节能力会影响孩子的焦虑程度。她建议父母在与孩子沟通时，要保持耐心和理解，并避免责备孩子。 Elizabeth: 她分享了她女儿的两种焦虑：一种是与日常生活相关的焦虑，例如害怕父母离开；另一种是形而上学式的恐惧，例如害怕童话故事中的角色。她尝试了多种方法，但都没有取得理想的效果。她寻求 Dr. Becky 的帮助，希望找到更有效的应对方法。 在与 Dr. Becky 的交流中，她意识到自己之前没有真正理解女儿的想法，她试图通过安抚和解决问题来帮助女儿，但这反而加剧了女儿的焦虑。她开始理解，帮助女儿接受焦虑情绪，而不是试图消除它，才是更有效的应对方法。 她还意识到，自己需要学习如何设定界限，并帮助女儿学会应对与其他孩子玩耍的焦虑。她理解到，不应该试图避免孩子感到不安，而应该帮助孩子学会应对不安的情绪。
