Welcome back to Help Your Kids! Season 3 is here, and we’re kicking things off with a topic you may recognise: anxiety.
In this episode, which is an add-on from the first ever episode, Mish and Shelley share their top tips for supporting a child through anxiety — including the question parents often find themselves asking: “Okay, but what do I actually do?”
When your child is anxious, knowing how to respond in the moment can feel difficult. Should you reassure them? Encourage them to face the fear? Give them space? And how can you support them without accidentally making anxiety feel even bigger?
In this episode, we explore:
Practical ways to respond when your child is feeling anxious
What parents can actually do in those difficult moments
How to support your child without taking away their opportunity to build confidence
Helpful ways to approach anxiety as a parent
Our top tips for helping children manage anxious feelings
Mish and Shelley bring their unique perspective as both therapists and parents, sharing practical strategies, gentle mindset shifts and real-life insights to help you feel more confident when anxiety shows up.
Whether your child experiences occasional worries or anxiety is becoming a bigger part of everyday life, this episode is packed with ideas you can take away and try.
