    Flusterclux With Lynn Lyons: For Parents Who Worry – Lynn Lyons LICSW, Robin Hutson

    Parenting isn’t easy, and it’s normal to worry. Lynn Lyons, therapist, author, and speaker is one of the world’s experts on helping parents, kids, and teens manage anxiety. She talks with co-host and sister-in-law Robin Hutson in a weekly podcast full of laughs, and practical advice without the psychobabble. At the beginning of the pandemic, Lynn and Robin started the Flusterclux podcast when their parenting retreats went on hiatus, and they’re now 2 years in, talking about anxiety and worry, their love for Mr. Rogers, and the crazy things the mental health field gets WRONG about anxiety.
    Anxiety Expert Lynn Lyons has been a therapist for over 30 years. She’s an author of 3 books with a new one coming out in October and has traveled around the US and Canada training hundreds of audiences teachers, school nurses, counselors and parents about managing anxiety.
    Flusterclux represents that feeling of overwhelm. Each episode is filled with practical advice for parents how to better manage their worry and big feelings like anger and sadness so that they are modeling healthy emotional awareness.
    Lynn answers listener questions and gives parents concrete strategies for developing the traits that are their kids’ best defenses against anxiety and depression later in life: flexibility, resilience, autonomy, and problem solving. New episodes every Friday at 5AM EST.

    The Best Way to Ask Your Kids "How Was Your Day?" Aug 09, 2024

    When we reunite with our kids at the end of the day, we’re often full of questions and curiosity. How was your day? Did you like your lunch? How’d that geometry test go? But genuine interest can sometimes turn into unsatisfying inquisitions. And if we add anxiety’s need for certainty, reassurance and LOTS of detail, the interaction goes south quickly. How can you get information, bolster connection, and keep those worrier impulses at bay?

    Best of: How Parents Can Get Their Anxious Kids' Schools on the Same Page Aug 02, 2024

    Helping an anxious student requires a strong collaboration between families and schools, but so often meetings to create a plan become adversarial. In this episode, Lynn (who routinely attends such meetings) offers her key tips for how parents and schools can work together to support a child and teach the needed skills, minus the conflict and blaming.

    We also answer a question from a shy mom entering a new school environment. She’s socially anxious but wants to do the best for her kids. What can she do to connect?

    In this recast of a popular episode from last year, sit in on Lynn's consultation with Mom, Dad and their high school junior who would prefer just staying in his room for most of the summer. Lynn helps identify the skill most teens need to strengthen — the skill of doing something you don't really want to do (and how it applies to getting a first job, applying to college, or completing schoolwork). Most parents will find this a very relatable episode about teens learning to motivate themselves to move forward despite some discomfort.

    Parents often focus on the details of a child’s anxiety or frustration or distress. The parental interrogation fueled by “I have to know what happened and they should be able to tell me” is a common sentiment. Do you fall prey to needing to know the details? Our desire to know is less important than supporting our children’s ability to manage their emotions and learn problem solving. Can you help without knowing the details? Yes, yes, yes!

    Teaching Your Kids How To Fix or End Friendships After Big Fights May 10, 2024

    Have you been hearing a lot about boundaries lately? And “toxic relationships"?

    How and Why to Curb Your Kid's Global Language (And Maybe Your Own!) Mar 01, 2024

    A global cognitive style, to use the fancy terminology, means that your perceptions of the world or yourself are broad and overly general: “All dogs are mean” or “I never get anything right.” Because this pattern is a solid predictor for depression and anxiety, it’s one to recognize and interrupt. We’ll talk about how to make helpful shifts in your family.

    Best Of: Raising Kids Who Are Really Ready for College Isn't What You Think Feb 23, 2024

    As college acceptance letters arrive, it 's timely to revisit this popular episode from Season 4!

    Parents and students are focusing on college admissions earlier and earlier, hoping to get a head start on what has become an increasingly competitive race through high school. They say they want their kids to be “happy” and “successful” in college, but if parents are obsessed with the "getting in," are they developing the right skills to help them thrive once there? Anxiety expert and therapist Lynn Lyons shares her perspective after treating teens for decades through this process (and well after).

    Helping people recognize and shift their own patterns is a key component of Lynn’s approach to emotional management.

    When Your Child’s Bedtime Fears Are Frustrating the Whole Family Oct 20, 2023

    In this two-part In Session episode, Lynn talks to Marie, a mom from New Zealand whose very imaginative and worried daughter has dramatic fears which can be frustrating for the whole family. Marie has done a great job talking to her daughter about her nighttime fears, but she needs some additional guidance about how to retrain that brain with consistency, humor and a bit of silly bribery.

    Lynn gives Marie a plan, sends her off for two months to practice, and then speaks again with Marie (and her daughter!) to learn about and discuss the progress they’ve made.

    Best of: How to Have a Successful Meeting with Your Child’s School Aug 18, 2023

    Helping an anxious student requires a strong collaboration between families and schools, but so often meetings to create a plan become adversarial. In this re-cast of a previous episode, Lynn (who routinely attends such meetings) offers her key tips for how parents and schools can work together to support a child and teach the needed skills, minus the conflict and blaming.

    We also answer a question from a shy mom entering a new school environment. She’s socially anxious but wants to do the best for her kids. What can she do to connect?

    Best of: How Talking Less Will Improve Your Parenting Aug 04, 2023

    In this recast of a popular earlier episode, Lynn breaks down one of her favorite instructions to parents: talk 85% less. When parents are worried, they tend to talk a lot. When they want something done and their child isn't doing it, they talk even more. Learn how asking the right questions and staying quiet can be one of the most helpful thing you can do for an anxious child or teen. We also answer a listener question about the difference between anxiety, worry and stress.

    Lynn will tell you that there’s no harder adult to work with in her practice than someone who reflexively blames. The ability to own your part, take responsibility for your “stuff” is key to relationships. In this episode we talk blaming: what’s normal developmentally, how it shows up with rigidity, and how to help break that pattern in your family.

    Best of: Dads, Depression and Anxiety Jun 30, 2023

    Today, we are re-sharing a Season 3 episode we consider one of our most important: Dads, Depression and Anxiety.

    So often, moms assume the role of supporting both a family’s health and mental health, but dads have a critical role to play, too. What is that role? And how do you encourage your partner to step into that role? When a man is unsure of how to talk about emotions with his children, what should he say? What if he doesn’t want to talk about them with anyone? In this episode, we get raw and deep reflecting on the men most dear to us. How do we raise boys that have the permission and the know-how to connect with others? And how do we help them become the available and emotionally literate dads of tomorrow?

    When A Kid's Questions Never End, Are They Caused by Anxiety? Jun 09, 2023

    Kids ask questions and parents provide information. That’s a normal part of growing and learning. But there’s a common anxiety pattern called reassurance seeking, where worriers ask and ask, seeking certainty and constant guarantees. Adults often participate, believing that offering reassurance is helpful. In this episode we discuss how to tell the difference between curiosity, helpful information, and anxiety-strengthening behaviors.

    Flusterclux In Session: When Your Teenager Doesn't Want to Do Anything This Summer May 12, 2023

    In this consultation with a listener's family, Lynn talks to a mom, dad, and their high school junior who would enjoy staying in his room most of the summer. Lynn helps identify the skill most teens need to strengthen — the skill of doing something you don't really want to do (and how it applies to getting a first job, applying to college, or completing schoolwork). Most parents will find this a very relatable episode about teens learning to motivate themselves to move forward despite some discomfort.

    When Your Anxious Kid Struggles with Making Decisions May 05, 2023

    When we remember that anxiety demands certainty and is a creator of doubt, it makes sense that decision-making can become a problem. What if I make the wrong choice? How do I decide between two good options? How will I know I’m choosing correctly? In this episode, we talk worry, decisions, and the skills we can teach our kids to keep them moving, whether they are picking out which t-shirt to wear in the morning or which college to choose.

    Loneliness and Connection in Adults Apr 28, 2023

    In Part 2 of our discussion on loneliness, we focus on adults. Making friends in adulthood feels risky. If you are at all anxious or introverted, vulnerability and rejection hardly seem worth it. But connection is possible once we dispel some limiting beliefs.

    Flusterclux In Session: How To Help A Rigid, Anxious Child By Modeling More Flexibility Apr 07, 2023

    On this In Session episode, Lynn talks to a mom who is beginning to recognize patterns of rigidity and anxiety in her 9yo daughter and, more importantly, the ways both she and her husband react to uncertainty and judgement in themselves and others. When the goals of being right and being perfect are modeled, children often react with shut downs or freak outs when they themselves fall short. How does a busy, rigid family step out of this trap?

    Unpacking the Parenting Styles on ABC TV's "The Parent Test" Feb 17, 2023

    The recent ABC-TV show The Parent Test has sparked much discussion, so Robin and Lynn (skeptically) decided to dive in. In each episode, parents with different “styles” of parenting are given challenges to complete with their children, and then other parents sit in judgment. What did we think? Was it awful? Exploitative? Or surprisingly enjoyable?

    When Kids' Sleep Issues Are Actually Anxiety Issues Jan 27, 2023

    Worries that show up at night seem to hold special power. They are discussed, analyzed, and often treated as a “going to sleep issue” instead of anxiety that happens to show up at bedtime. It’s understandable. Problems at bedtime are magnified by parents’ urgency to make sleep happen, our own lack of reserves at the end of the day or the middle of the night, and the material that the dark of night readily serves up to the worried imagination. How do we treat these bedtime anxieties differently than daytime anxieties…and do we need to?

    The 7 Anxiety Disruptors For Families: #4 The Correct Way To Use Breath Jul 08, 2022

    Is breathing used to eliminate worry? Nope, it is not. In this next episode of our 7-part Anxiety Disruptor series for families, Lynn explains how stepping into uncertainty is necessary but not always easy for kids, especially when big physical symptoms show up like tummy aches, headaches, or a racing heart. Simple breathing exercises help your child's brain and body reset, taking the body out of emergency mode and supporting the “I can handle this” approach to moving forward. We also talk about the a-ha moment when parents realize they are making anxiety worse for themselves and their kids. Here's the pep talk you need to hear to embrace new approaches.

    The 7 Anxiety Disruptors For Families: #3 get uncomfortable on purpose Jun 24, 2022

    Anxiety wants certainty, and when that’s not possible, avoidance becomes the demand. Unfortunately, as anxious families fall into patterns of avoidance, anxiety strengthens. Families need a different strategy, a way to break patterns and retrain the worried brain. In this episode, Lynn explains how to build on the first two puzzle pieces of expecting and talking to worry (our first two episodes in this seven-part series). It’s now time to DO the opposite of what worry demands: step into situations that actually make worry arrive, and lay down new pathways by responding differently. This puzzle piece is the meat of the sandwich…it takes courage and encouragement, as well as consistency and practice. The worried brain needs the opportunity to relearn.

    The 7 Anxiety Disruptors For Families: #2 How to Talk To Your Kid's Worry (And Your Own) Jun 17, 2022

    Externalizing worry (and other strong emotions) teaches children and parents to take a step back and notice HOW worry and other big feelings operate. Changing the response to worry (instead of changing the environment to meet anxiety’s demands) is a powerful skill. Consistency and practice are key, and Lynn talks about how to explain and use externalizing in your family to promote emotional intelligence and management. These skills are relevant for kids and adults.

    Listeners Ask: Teens & Drinking and Anxiety vs. Intuition Jun 04, 2021

    In today’s episode Lynn answers two listener questions. First a mom discovers her 15 year old has been thinking of drinking to manage her stress. What are the conversations parents should be having with their teens around stress, substance abuse and peer pressure?

    And another mom raised by an anxious parent is trying to break the cycle with her daughters. She asks Lynn how to know when the voices inside her head are generational patterns of worry repeating or intuitive warnings.

    Unpacking your family's baggage about anger, grief, and worry Nov 27, 2020

    Just because your Thanksgiving table will have empty chairs this year, doesn't mean that your family's dynamics aren't with you.

    What did you learn about handling anger, sadness, and worry as a child from your family? How does that affect your parenting? We unpack our family baggage in this episode to see how we can stop dysfunctional generational patterns and give our kids the space for healthy feelings.

    Reassurance Traps: How to Know When Anxiety Is In Control Nov 20, 2020

    "It'll be okay." "Everything will be fine." "I'm right here."

    Our kids turned to us for reassurance, and anxious kids ask for a lot of it. When we tell them everything will be fine, it feels like the right thing to do in the moment. But is it? How does our well-meaning reassurance interfere with our children developing critical psychological skills? And what should we do instead?

    We'll answer that question in this week's episode of Flusterclux with Lynn Lyons, the show for real talk about worry and other big feelings in parenting.

    Lynn Lyons 0:32

    Hi, I'm Lynn Lyons. I'm an anxiety expert, speaker, Mom and author. I've been a therapist for 30 years.

    Robin Hutson 0:38

    You're here because your family has some anxiety issues, or you want to prevent them. I'm your co-host and Lynn's sister in law, Robin, and I'm here to ask your questions.

    Lynn Lyons 0:47

    Parenting can be a Flusterclux, and I'll help you find your way.

    There are so many things that we do for our kids, things that are loving and caring and supportive. Things that feel intuitive. Things that we know make our kids feel better. Oh, but if you've heard me talk about these things, oftentimes when it comes to worry and anxiety, there are a few of these things that get a little bit tricky, a little bit sticky. And we're going to talk about one of those. Today, we're going to talk about reassurance.

    Helicopter parenting isn’t just about being nervous at the playground. Helicopter parents is a loaded label, and we define it in this episode as a hovering parent trying to control an outcome.

    4:27 WHEN WE CAN’T GO TO THE ER AS EASILY

    We discuss the pragmatic balance of reducing the risk of physical play during a pandemic when the same medical care isn’t as straightforward of an option.

    7:19 HELICOPTER PARENTS DURING PLAY

    10:12 HELICOPTER PARENTING AND ACADEMICS

    Lynn talks about the opportunities for parents who helicopter and intervene to step back in this new pass-fail scenario where the stakes aren’t so high and encourages ways to inject more independence with students.

    13:06 WHAT DOES HELICOPTER PARENTING MEAN?

    Lynn explains that academic helicopter parenting is a fear-based effort not let the chips fall where they may, to not let a child fail out of fear of failure, being judged, or other reasons.

    15:54 BRINGING UNSCHOOLING INTO THE HOME

    We talk about the opportunity to introduce the importance of learning life skills from parents around the home, and discuss the chance to introduce unschooling opportunities—the chance for child-led learning on topics they choose over the summer.

    20:23 NEARLY EVERYONE HELICOPTERS IN AT LEAST ONE AREA

    Some parents intervene more in their children’s school work, the safety of their play, their friendships or appearance. Lynn asks how parents might step away now from those areas and see what happens when the stakes aren’t so high.

    24:41 THE CRUX OF THE HELICOPTER PARENTING

    We want to protect our kids from hard feelings. Lynn gives examples of moms who won’t buy a pet so her daughter won’t have to grieve for it when it dies.

    Managing Disappointment: When FOMO Becomes Just MO Apr 12, 2020

    What important family event are you missing out on? All of these events, these milestones, these celebrations, they’re being canceled and postponed. And it’s not just the actual event. It’s all the fun, the excitement, all the preparation, all the anticipation.

    In this episode, we find silver linings in ways to teach our kids critical life skills in adaptability and managing disappointment. We talk about why to put those perfection issues on the brakes and how to focus on creativity, silliness, and connection.

    1:35 FEAR OF MISSING OUT VS. MISSING OUT

    Lynn talks about all of the ritual that we are missing that mark birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, and births.

    Lynn talks about how to be empathic for everyone missing out but still figure out a way to mark the celebration and give meaning to it.

    3:20 MARKING MILESTONES

    Lynn suggests a way to acknowledge a milestone by changing something in the house or a family behavior or privilege when social gatherings can’t take place.

    6:07 THE ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY

    Lynn explains why flexibility is so critical to manage anxiety. Anxiety want rigidity. Lynn challenges the commonplace advice of our need for structure right now.

    These new conditions are an opportunity to increase our kids’ skills in being adaptive and managing disappointment.

    7:30 MANAGING DISAPPOINTMENT

    Teaching our kids that things are bigger than they are and to manage disappointment can be a positive outcome of our social isolation. Life will be filled with disappointments and learning to adapt well to it is an important skill.

    10:58 THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

    Lynn talks about the dangers social media can play now in making a parenting competition of how families are celebrating kids birthdays, for example. She warns that social media doesn’t foster social connection, but social comparison.

    14:05 PROTECT JOY AND CREATIVITY

    Focusing on creativity and silliness are balms for anxious states. Indulge in the creative work of others being shared online instead.

    15:02 PERFECTION ISSUES

    Lynn advises those with perfection issues to realize a pandemic is no time for striving for perfection. She advises those to use it as a time to work on authenticity and vulnerability. Perfection is a joy smusher, too, and it interferes with your ability to connect.

    18:44 A HUMBLING MOMENT FOR LYNN

    Lynn talks about how great it is to have her two college-aged sons home from college now and how much laughter there is. I ask her to imagine these circumstances when her boys were both under the age of 8.

    Stuck-In-Home Parenting Apr 09, 2020

    0:05 THE STUCK-IN-THE-HOUSE PARENT

    We’ve got stay-at-home parents; we’ve got working full-time parents. We have entered into a new category of parenting. This is the stuck-in-the-house parent.

    This is our first episode ofA Mom’s Retreat podcast with Lynn Lyons (my sister-in-law). This podcast has stepped in to take the place of in person parenting retreats we began in the fall.

    Lynn explains why we feel like we are riding a new emotional rollercoaster, and why we feel so exhausted, as our brains are working overtime to absorb our new life conditions. She compares this time’s mental and emotional drain to having a newborn at home for the first time.

    3:27 CATASTROPHIC LANGUAGE

    Lynn asks that we pay attention to the undeniable anxiety we feel and to avoid patterns of catastrophic language in front of our children.

    4:47 DAVID BARLOW

    She references David Barlow who defined anxiety as an overestimation of a problem and an underestimation of your resources to deal with it but shares we are in the opposite of an underestimation of the problem with an overestimation of our resources.

    6:13 CATASTROPHIC PARENTING

    Lynn validates that we have reason to be worried. We have reason to feel uncertain, we have reason to feel as if we’re off our kilter a little bit.

    Lynn gives guidance on communicating uncertainty reasonably and catastrophically with our children.

    8:09 KEEPING YOUR COOL AND THE POWER OF SILLINESS

    Lynn talks about taking a reset or a reboot. She explains what she means be learning to be vanilla ice cream for your kids.

    Silliness and doing things that are unexpected are a great way to shift the emotional tone in your family. Lynn gives examples of how consciously injecting play can rebalance both parents and comfort children and gives examples how.

    Lynn talks about her own childhood memories of her parents doing the twist in the kitchen to At the Hop albums.

    15:15 SLOWING DOWN IN SOCIAL DISTANCING

    We talk about the gifts that can come from this chapter with more time together at home when children’s schedules are lighter. Lynn encourages us to fill this time as a family with more play in a way that doesn’t feel like an additional chore for parents.

    Lynn’s book Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents has several examples at the end of every chapter of ways to be silly, inject surprise, and make family time more playful as a practice.

    She discusses the power of external connection among our family and friends to stave of the anxious and depressive patterns we are vulnerable to right now by stating in an internal state.

    18:06 OUTRO

    So, thanks for joining us on this first episode of A Mom’s Retreat. You are not alone in this. Join us next episode as we discuss the milestones we are missing.

    We are all in this together. The purpose of this is for us to feel connected, validated, and supported.
