Summary
Congratulations on finishing Module 7! This week, you learned how to help your child reflect after completing exposure activities. Here are some points to keep in mind:
- There are two thinking errors that generally cause anxiety:
- Probability: Overestimating how likely it is that an unpleasant event will happen, and
- Consequences: Overestimating how bad it will be if the unpleasant event does happen.
- Practicing exposure activities can help your child put unhelpful anxious thoughts to the test.
- Reflecting after each exposure activity will help your child gain a new perspective on their fears.
- It is also important for you to reflect on you and your child’s progress in LUNA.
Over the next week, remember to...
- Keep helping your child practice the activities in their plan of action.
- Make sure your child’s practices are being tracked in their Activity Log and focus on the last column of the log: “Did I learn anything new?”.
- Make sure to help your child reflect after their practices.
- If your child is ready, create a new plan of action by referring to Module 4.
