RLL #95: [Audioblog] When the World Overwhelms Your Anxious Child | How You Can Help

The truth is, anxious kids can get overwhelmed a lot.  While current events seem especially dire, there will always be things happening that are hard for our anxious children to understand or even remain calm about.  It’s our responsibility to give them the tools to manage anxiety and we can lend them support in the face of really big challenges like illness, national upheavel, or natural disasters.  In today’s episode, Colleen shares an audioblog  — an article by Jen Vail that first appeared on the site – with ideas on how to help your child when the world is overwhelming them.
