Summary

On a random sick day, my youngest anxious child loomed in my office as I prepared to record my latest podcast. “What are you doing?” She asked. I told her I’m going to be on the “radio” teaching parents how to help their anxious kids. My six year old’s eyes widen and she said, “Maybe they would like to hear from a kid instead?” I agreed. She pulled up a stool next to me. Her little feed dangling as she spoke in the big microphone. I listened in awe as my daughter talked about her battle with her “worry cloud.” She talked about what helps and what doesn’t. And once again the student was the teacher. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

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.
0:12.0	Well, hello and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival
0:17.2	Podcast. Today we have a very special person that I'm going to interview and she is under four feet and I
0:26.5	think she's pretty cute. I'm going to interview my daughter who is six in an effort to help parents understand how you can help your very
0:37.0	young anxious kids. I did do an earlier podcast about this? In episode 29 I talk about how to deal with
0:45.8	O. C. D. in young children which isn't the topic for today and in episode 28 I
0:51.6	talk about don't wait to help anxiety in young children.
0:55.0	So those would be two good supplements for this episode.
0:59.5	But this episode is some tools and how to get started in developing those coping mechanisms
1:05.6	early in young children with anxiety.
1:09.1	And so my daughter happens to be staying home from school today because she was sick on Saturday had a fever on Sunday
1:17.3	And I wanted to give her one more day to just make sure she wasn't contagious and get her to be able to kind of recharge and reset and I told
1:25.7	her I was going to be doing my podcast today and that she had to be quiet and so she was inquisitive
1:29.7	about what that was and she wanted me to interview her which I thought was kind of cute and
1:35.9	actually a really great idea because I want you to hear the dialogue that I'm
1:40.4	having with my own child about her anxiety and I want you to hear from her
1:45.6	what she felt helped and what stuck. So without further ado,
1:52.0	let me introduce you to miss six. So today is a special day because I
1:59.4	get to talk to my six-year-old and she's going to help us understand a little bit about how
2:06.9	anxiety feels in younger kids which I thought would be great to hear from
2:11.4	someone to rocklet. Sound good? I thought would be great to hear from someone directly.
