Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Anxiety: How to Help Your Kids—And You—Cope with It
These are historically challenging times to be a parent. In recent years, we’ve helped our kids through a pandemic, quarantining and virtual schooling—while also navigating tough conversations about shootings in schools, grocery stores and places of worship. And that’s on top of day-to-day stressors related to academics, sports and social pressures. Jody Baumstein, LCSW, who develops emotional wellness content and programming for our Strong4Life team, joins Lynn for an empowering discussion that’s part pep talk, part release from guilt and people-pleasing. You’ll leave with tips to help your kids—and you—manage anxiety. Jody’s the soft-spoken cheerleader you didn’t know you needed but sure are glad to have found.
