Anxiety In Our Kids

In this episode of The Resilient Kid Podcast, psychotherapist Ashley Costello discusses anxiety in children. She highlights recognizing the signs of anxiety, underlining the difference of how it presents in teens and pre-teens. Ashley emphasises not to label children as 'anxious' or 'shy', instead listening to their concerns and helping them understand it's normal to worry. She suggests approaches for managing anxiety such as maintaining communication with child's teachers, encouraging a healthy diet and physical activities, and exposing them gradually to their anxieties to build resilience. Moreover, she advises parents to seek professional help if the child's worry continues for more than two weeks. Ashley also mentions several resources available on her academy's website to assist parents and children in dealing with anxiety. 00:01 Introduction to the Podcast 00:48 Understanding Anxiety in Children 01:51 The Impact of Labeling Anxiety 02:47 Appreciation for Listeners and Podcast Purpose 03:39 Defining Anxiety and Its Causes 12:29 Recognizing Anxiety Symptoms in Children 16:28 Managing Anxiety: Tips and Strategies 18:02 The Role of Parents in Managing Anxiety 24:09 The Importance of Communication and Understanding 35:52 Conclusion and Farewell Useful Links Sign up to our newsletter: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/240667/93026367927485942/share Waitlist for “The Resilient Teen Book”: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/240667/99191751839844341/share Waitlist for "The Teen Coaches": https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/240667/99186184125678667/share Get “A Parents Guide To Raising A Resilient Kid” Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1739302605 Social Links Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/resilientkiduk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theresilientkid/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/resilientkid/ Pinterest: https://za.pinterest.com/resilientacademy/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@theresilientkid957 Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ashley-costello Website: https://www.theresilientacademy.co.uk/ FULL TRANSCRIPT https://s3.membervaultcdn.com/theresilientpeople/1.-Transcript---S3---Episode-1---Anxiety-In-Our-Kids.pdf?v=1706601219
