#77 | Anxiety in children, the causes, how to help & more | Dr Sarah Cassidy

My guest today is Dr Sarah Cassidy - an Educational, Child and Adolescent Psychologist. I invited Sarah on the show to talk about anxiety in children. She co-authored the book - “Tired of Anxiety: A Kid’s Guide to Befriending Scary Thoughts and Living Your Life Anyway” - and in this episode I ask her to break down some of the key messages from the book.

I talk to Sarah about:

- The rise of anxiety in children and the causes

- The nature vs nurture debate and when parents feel guilty

- How to have conversations around anxiety with children

- The role of bravery and modelling for parents and teachers

- Simple strategies for reducing anxiety

- & more

Enjoy the episode.
