As parents, we worry. It’s in our nature!

Are they safe?

Are they hungry?

Are they happy?

The list goes on…

But SPOILER ALERT: our kids worry too!

The world is a scary place, and the world around them is constantly changing, with new things to learn and new experiences to process all the time.

In this bucket emptying episode, I’m going to reveal the six most common things your children worry about AND I will share some super practical tips to help you deal with them. Because remember, your job as mum and dad is to support, and that means empowering our little ones to fix things themselves, so that they grow up to be confident, independent, and well-rounded adults.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
