Now that you know how to create mission plans, this week we will talk about executing them! Most of the remaining weeks in LUNA will focus on completing mission plans and providing more guidance on how to make them successful. If you have trouble with your mission plans, the last section will help you troubleshoot common problems.
 
This module will take about 30 minutes to complete readings and do activities this week. 

Previously on LUNA…

Since beginning LUNA, you and your child have learned about anxiety, set specific and measurable goals for the program, developed a rewards plan to increase motivation, and learned and practiced different ways your child can cope with anxiety.
 
Most recently, you learned all about mission plans, which is a strategy for helping your child overcome their fears by gradually facing them. You also learned and completed the steps for creating a mission plan: 

  1. Create a list of fears and worries
  2. Choose a target fear 
  3. Choose a specific, straightforward, and achievable goal for the mission plan 
  4. Brainstorm different steps for the mission plan 
  5. Order the steps from least to most scary 
  6. Make a rewards plan
