Anxiety in kids is increasing in epidemic proportions, particularly in the past three years. Not only that, anxiety has a trickle down effect on kids. In fact, one research study shows that—only behind love and affection—that a parent’s ability to manage their own stress is the second most effective parenting strategy for getting the outcomes we desire most in our kids.
We have had our own run-ins with anxiety just in the past few weeks. In this episode, we tell stories from our own journey. We also describe three practical ways you can help your kids when they get anxious.
Show Notes:
This month we’re launching TwentyTwoSix parenting, an online community for parents to disciple their kids based on Proverbs 22:6. Each month we focus on a mile marker to lead our kids in the way they should go. July’s mile marker provides content and coaching on this topic: Fear Not: Building Confidence in our Kids. Click here to reserve your spot before May 26, 2017!

I found y’all through a Meg Meeker podcast. I’ve been going through your podcasts. Just listened to “When Your Kids Are Anxious: 3 Ways You Can Help” and realized that I’m not doing well with my son. He’s been suffering from anxiety lately and I had no clue how to help him. This gave me a lot of good information.

I just joined 22:6. I’m coparenting with his dad whose house is chaos, so I’m learning to help my son navigate his dad’s world while not stressing too much. He’s only 6 and it’s a lot for him to handle. I’ll definitely check out the other episodes 🙂
