Anxiety is something we as adults are all too familiar with. There will also be times where your child too, feels anxious. Anxiety can especially be prevalent as children head back to school, whether it be the first day of primary or high school, or even just starting a new school year can trigger feelings of uncertainty and nervousness.
Supporting your child and validating their emotions around their feelings of anxiety will help them to feel more secure and know that they are not alone.
We are thrilled to be joined by Dr Jodi Richardson in our Figuring it out Together podcast on the Fathering Channel. She helps us explore anxiety through childhood and adolescence and provides us with her invaluable insights and strategies.
