In this episode, we discuss anxiety in kids and parents with Kate Cornish, a clinically trained therapist and parent coach. Kate has a lot of expertise to lend to this conversation, as she works with parents of anxious, neurodiverse, sensitive, and misunderstood children. She’s also the parent of a neurodiverse child.

Anxiety can be incredibly hard to navigate. We want our kids to have the tools to work through challenging moments, but we also want to validate each experience. Kate weighs in and explains how parents need their own support system and framework so they can be the anchor for their child.

What we cover on ways to parent an anxious child:

• At what point is anxiety considered a disorder, where specialized support is needed?
• How can parents help their child work through anxious thoughts.
• How can parents reflect and examine their own anxiety and how it impacts their children.
• Why parents need their own framework and support to navigate anxious thoughts.
• Tips and tricks to help the whole family work through anxiety rather than being consumed by it.
