Have you made a lot of progress on one fear and are ready to start taking on a new one? Does your child have a new fear that became a bigger issue in the last few weeks? This module will help if you are ready to manage multiple mission plans for any of these reasons. If this module does not apply to you, feel free to move on to a different module.
When to work on multiple mission plans?
First, we would like to tell you about some situations in which it may be helpful to work on multiple mission plans at the same time:
- Your mission plan involves a fear that you cannot regularly work on. For example, you may have a mission plan for your child to work on their fear of the doctor. However, because doctor’s visits are rare for most children, and most people do not have access to medical settings, this may be something that you work on less frequently than, say, a fear of the dark. In this case, we encourage you to make another mission plan that you can work on regularly (like fear of the dark) at the same time.
- You and your child are stuck on one step in your current mission plan. When this happens, first, look at your mission plan and see whether you can find anything that you can improve on. Is your mission plan goal specific enough? Are your steps specific and doable in your daily life? Is one specific step too easy compared to others? Look back to Module 5 and try to troubleshoot using the tips there. If you still find yourself stuck in your mission plan, then it can be helpful to change it up and start another mission plan for a new fear while you continue working on the first one. That way, you can continue making progress in another area, which might help you and your child become more confident in facing their fears for the first area.
- You and your child have reached your goal or are close to reaching your goal for your first target fear. It may be helpful to start a new one at that point as well.
