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.
0:17.5	Well, hello and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival podcast. I hope you're having a great day. So today we're going to talk about socially anxious kids and that is because
0:27.2	somebody in my private Facebook group was talking about their struggles with
0:31.5	their son and a lot of other people were chiming in and
0:35.1	saying they were having the same struggles.
0:37.6	So I thought what a great podcast to do because I work with kids all the time who are socially anxious and of course I have my
0:47.5	own personal experiences with it because it always seems that that is the way it goes.
0:52.5	So if you have not joined my private Facebook group already,
0:56.8	you should be joining because there's an amazing group of people in there

1:06.0	suggestions and it's a really friendly supportive group. There's no
1:10.0	hostility. Everybody could agree to disagree and it's totally fine.
1:14.6	So if you're not already in there, go to AT parenting kids with anxiety and OCD on Facebook.
1:22.4	I should have probably said that first. Or you can go to my website
1:25.2	anxious toddlers.com and at the very bottom on my website there's a link and you can
1:30.2	just click it and join there so that you can be part of that conversation
1:35.2	because it is almost up to a thousand members. It's growing every day. So anyway
1:41.7	let's talk about socially anxious kids and I'm going to talk about kids of all ages
1:48.1	The particular kids that a lot of people are talking about in our thread seem to be about that five to six year old
1:54.7	range but I'm also going to touch on the teenagers too kind of in big general terms but
2:02.1	it's really good if you do have a of because it's easier to tackle sooner than later, of course, with everything, right?
