Ep. 4: Anxiety in Kids
In this episode, I am talking about anxiety in kids. Anxiety is when children feel super worried even if there's no big problem. I explain how anxiety is different from normal fear and how it involves thoughts, feelings, and how our body reacts. I also talk about why some kids might have anxiety and how parents can help. I say that sometimes parents can also feel anxious, and that's okay.
Parents can use their own experiences to understand and help their kids. Spending time together and doing things kids like can make the parent-child relationship stronger and help kids feel better. I also suggest a cool idea: families can face challenges together. This way, parents and kids can support each other and show that even if something is scary, they can work through it.
To help with this, I made a special workbook that families can get from our website. It gives ideas on how to think positively and relax, and it has fun challenges for families to do together. This can help kids feel brave and manage their anxiety better.
