Anxiety in kids is increasing in epidemic proportions, particularly in the past three years. Not only that, anxiety has a trickle down effect on kids. In fact, one research study shows that—only behind love and affection—that a parent’s ability to manage their own stress is the second most effective parenting strategy for getting the outcomes we desire most in our kids.

We have had our own run-ins with anxiety just in the past few weeks. In this episode, we tell stories from our own journey. We also describe three practical ways you can help your kids when they get anxious.
