Season 2 | Episode 8 | Help Your Kids with Burnout | Help Your Kids Podcast
Welcome to Help Your Kids, the parenting podcast that’s here to walk alongside you through all the challenges and joys of raising emotionally healthy kids.
This week, your hosts, Dr. Mish Seabrook and Shelley Smith, dive into a topic that is becoming increasingly common among children and young people: burnout.
In this episode, we explore:
• What burnout can look like in children and why it’s often mistaken for tiredness, laziness, or a lack of motivation
• Some of the pressures that can contribute to burnout, from school and extracurricular activities to social expectations
• How you can recognise the signs early and support your child in finding a healthier balance
Mish and Shelley bring their unique perspective as both therapists and parents, sharing practical strategies, gentle reassurance, and real-life insights to help families understand burnout and respond with empathy and confidence.
Whether your child seems emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed by daily demands, or simply isn't quite themselves, this episode will leave you feeling more informed, reassured, and equipped with practical ways to support their wellbeing.
