73. Supporting Children through Anxiety and the Unknown


Listen Later

"All symptoms and behaviors a child displays while anxious are attempts at regulation." - Lisa Dion

When life and situations become unpredictable, children have to orient to the unfamiliar just like adults do.  The difference is that their brains are a little further behind in their capacity to regulate through it often leading to high levels of anxiety and other symptoms.  Tune is as we explore how to support children through their anxiety and find a sense of security when the unknown arises.
