Anxiety in children has been rising steadily, with more young people than ever struggling to cope with their emotions. The challenges of modern life coupled with the impact of Covid-19 on children’s lives has made growing up harder than ever. Recent figures published in 2023 found that:

“1 in 5 children and young people in England aged 8 to 16 had a probable mental health disorder”

(NHS England annual Mental Health of Children and Young People survey, 2023).

Correspondingly, the number of children and young people seeking help from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) has risen considerably over the last few years, beyond the capacity of the NHS. This increase in demand is creating long waiting lists for assessments and treatment, forcing many parents to seek help from private child therapists to better understand their child’s needs and find effective strategies for managing difficult emotions. 

One proven approach to support children and young people to understand themselves better and be more prepared to handle difficult thoughts and feelings is the DNA-v model, developed  by Dr Louise Hayes and Joseph Ciarrochi.

This simple, practical framework focuses on three key skills:

  • Discoverer (the "D")

  • Noticer (the "N")

  • Advisor (the "A")

All three are guided by Values (the "V"). Together, these skills act like a toolkit, giving children the tools they need to thrive.


What is the DNA-v Model?

The DNA-v model breaks human behaviour into three main parts:

  1. Discoverer: The part of us that likes to explore and try new things.

  2. Noticer: The part that helps us connect with our feelings and pay attention to what’s happening around us.

  3. Advisor: Our inner voice that gives us advice—sometimes helpful, sometimes not.

These skills are guided by Values, which are the things that matter most to us. Values can help children make choices that raise their energy and wellbeing .

Think of the DNA-v model as a toolkit:

  • The Discoverer is like a torch, helping young people see new paths.

  • The Noticer is like a magnifying glass, focusing in on what is happening around us.

  • The Advisor is like a map, offering guidance (but not always accurate).

  • Values can be thought of as a compass, guiding the way.

When children and young people learn to use these tools, they can more effectively handle their thoughts and emotions. 


Helping Children Manage Their Inner Voice (Advisor)

Everyone has an "inner voice" that talks to them. This Advisor can be helpful, like reminding young people to do their homework, or unhelpful, like making them afraid to try new things.

Playful strategies (such as the ones outlined below) can help children see that they don’t have to believe every thought their Advisor gives them. 

  • Play the "Say One Thing, Do Another" Game: This is a fun game where you say something different from what you’re doing. For example, say, “I’m sitting down,” while running in place. Once your child gets the hang of it, try applying it to their fears. For example, they can say, “I don’t want to jump in the pool,” while actually jumping in.

  • Name the Thought: Encourage your child to say, “I’m noticing that I’m having the thought that…” This creates distance between them and their less helpful  thoughts.

  • Thank the Thought: Teach your child to humorously thank their mind for the unhelpful advice. For example, “Thanks, mind, for telling me I’ll fail. I’m going to try my best anyway!”

Many families find these techniques useful particularly when used within the context of the whole DNA-v model with guidance from a child therapist.


Using Mindfulness to Strengthen Awareness (Noticer)

The Noticer skill is all about being mindful—paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness can help children and young people navigate stressors they might face by helping them understand and articulate their emotions. By naming what emotion is showing up (such as anxiety or anger), children and young people are encouraged to pause and think about how they are feeling before reacting. 

Here are some simple, fun mindfulness activities:

  • I spy: spying for objects of particular colours.

  • Blowing Bubbles: Watch the bubbles float, pop, and disappear.

  • Listening to Sounds: Pay attention to bird songs, waves, or other calming sounds.

  • Singing or Dancing: Use movement to stay in the moment.

  • Yoga poses: Using postures drawn from martial arts.

Mindfulness doesn’t have to be serious or long. For young children, even a few minutes of mindfulness can make a big difference. Rather than introducing mindfulness at an intellectual level, parents can look out for activities that support the child’s developing attention and capacity for mindfulness and practice these together. By working with a  child therapist you can experiment with more mindfulness exercises tailored to your child’s specific needs.


Encouraging Children to Try New Things (Discoverer)

The Discoverer is the part of us that tries new things and learns through experience. For anxious children, this can feel scary. Parents play a crucial role in helping children develop their discover by encouraging them to take small steps outside their comfort zone.

  • Try Something New Together: Pick an activity that’s new for both of you, like trying a new recipe or exploring a park you’ve never visited.

  • Celebrate Progress: Even small successes deserve celebration! This builds confidence and shows your child that stepping out of their comfort zone is worth it.

Working with a child Psychology Service  we can help you explore ways to gently encourage exposing your child to  face situations they find scary ,so they can develop their discover skill, and see the long-term benefits of taking valued driven action.


Applying DNA-v in Schools

Schools play a big role in helping children manage anxiety. The DNA-v model can help teachers create a supportive environment.

For example:

  • Mindfulness exercises can help students focus and manage stress.

  • Role-playing can teach students how to handle social challenges with their Advisor.

  • Creative projects can encourage students to use their Discoverer skill.

If you’d like to learn more about how the DNA-v model could work in schools, we recommend seeing assistance from a psychology service like interACT Psychology, a trusted provider of therapy and support for families in Oxfordshire.
