I have a big calendar that hangs in my kitchen that shows several months at a time, and it cracks me up that at the top of this season's calendar spread, it literally says "Busiest Time Ever." That is what the calendar makers labeled October-December rather than including the month names.

If you're feeling a bit that way as well, today's episode is for you. For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/328-less-stressful-december

357: Tips for Staying Calm During Your Big Kid's Big Meltdowns // Cheryl Cardall

Parenting anxious kids can be stressful! It's hard to watch our kids struggle. If you have a child who worries a lot, avoids certain social situations, or even shows physical signs of panic when facing their fears, you might start to wonder, "Does my child have diagnosable anxiety? Or is this just part of growing up? And what am I supposed to do to help them?" Sound familiar? I’m raising my hand! This is a personal topic for me because I struggle with anxiety myself, and just in the last few months, my daughter has started to show some symptoms of anxiety. 
If you’re like me, and these questions have ever come to mind, you will love my interview with Dr. Terri Bacow, a well-known expert in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I was thrilled to have a true expert on this topic!

Introducing…The Fertility Chick with Abbe Feder

How strong would you say your sense of community is right now? With my increasing work commitments and the ages of my kids,  I’m not finding the natural opportunities to meet up with other moms that I did when my kids were younger and going to playdates and parks and preschool. Building a community has become an increasingly difficult thing for me! That’s why I’m so thrilled I got to interview Jen Banks on my show. She inspired me to recommit to building a community—and not just any community, but a resilient community!
