Managing Your Kid's Legit Worries (Not Monsters Under the Bed)

A listener had a question: how do I help my six year old son be less afraid of bears at night when bears have been invading our neighbors’ houses? At first this seems like a unique question, but when we step back from the bears, a more common question (and answer) bubbles up: How do we help our children problem solve when dealing with something scary AND possible? WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS. Here is our first: For those brand new to the podcast, we suggest starting with this playlist featuring Lynn Lyons and the 7-part anxiety disruptor series as well as a 3-part series on the skills most helpful in managing anxious kids: flexibility, problem solving, and autonomy. Consult our Spotify profile for the most up-to-date selection. We will select two listeners who complete our listener survey. We hope it is you!
