In this episode we unpack some of the behaviors we see on the surface when children and adolescents experience anxiety, as well a lot of overwhelming feelings that are stirred up underneath. We give practical phrases to give support as parents or teachers offering a safe space to kids and teens when they are overwhelmed. We look at anxiety through the lens of secure attachment to help co-regulate emotion in this hyperaroused state outside the window of tolerance.
