Anxiety is one of the biggest "enemies of empathy". We have all been there- something happens with our kids, and instead of responding with empathy, we respond out of our own anxiety. How can we recognize and overcome that? This episode gives stories and strategies for doing just that and ways to stop the cycle from affecting our children and their futures. We also talk about how prevention and talking to our children about their anxiety from a young age is key, how we can't always fix anxiety but we can reframe it by talking through fears and giving them tools to feel calm such as singing, yoga, and breathing, and how we walk alongside them to teach them problem-solving skills to create healthier pathways in their minds to help them overcome anxiety. We referenced 2 books to read with children to help on this journey:The Whatifs, By Emily KilgoreWilma Jean the Worry Machine, By Julia Cook
