| 0:00.0 | Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting. |
| 0:07.0 | Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:11.0 | Well, hello there, and welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. |
| 0:16.0 | In this episode, I am going to be talking about parenting with anxiety. |
| 0:21.0 | For a lot of us who have anxious kids, the apple does not fall too far from that |
| 0:27.5 | anxious tree, right? You guys know who you are out there. I know who I am. So I thought it would be really good to talk |
