In this episode of The Resilient Kid Podcast, psychotherapist Ashley Costello discusses anxiety in children. She highlights recognizing the signs of anxiety, underlining the difference of how it presents in teens and pre-teens. Ashley emphasises not to label children as 'anxious' or 'shy', instead listening to their concerns and helping them understand it's normal to worry. She suggests approaches for managing anxiety such as maintaining communication with child's teachers, encouraging a healthy diet and physical activities, and exposing them gradually to their anxieties to build resilience. Moreover, she advises parents to seek professional help if the child's worry continues for more than two weeks. Ashley also mentions several resources available on her academy's website to assist parents and children in dealing with anxiety.
