Life Free of Anxiety

How to Help Your Kids Manage Anxiety with Faison Covington


Listen Later

ANXIETY AND CHILDREN: This episode is a MUST listen for any parent. If you know a parent who could benefit from this, please share it with them. This is an especially difficult time for parents with young kids.

How do you help your child not fall into a "worry trap" during these anxiety provoking times? Faison Covington, a childhood anxiety specialist (and founder of the CHAANGE program, which Erica and Dr. Barr both used to cure their anxiety), returns to talk about tips and tricks for discussing stressful topics with children.

In this VERY IMPORTANT episode, we discuss:

  • How to discuss COVID-19 with under 10 and over 10 years olds
  • How to ask your kids about their worries
  • Ways to alleviate children's worries
  • How your behavior affects a child's perception of the world
  • And, of course, a reminder about why caffeine makes anxiety worse!

If you have kids, we hope this episode will help answer some of your burning questions. If not, please send questions our way, because we're pretty sure that Faison will be back soon! :)
