More Than Fine

Anxiety in our children often shows up in ways you least expect. Sissy Goff describes the behaviors that may indicate your child is dealing with anxiety, and touches on how to approach coaching a child through it in ways that can boost their confidence and resiliency. She provides insight into how anxiety affects your child's brain, and shares coping strategies that you can teach your child to use virtually anywhere. She also explains the process of identifying our own anxiety, and how doing our own work can help us be more attuned to our kids' needs as we heal side by side.
