Here's your host, child therapist Natasha Daniels.

Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT parenting survival podcast. I hope you had a really good Thanksgiving. I hope that it was nice to have a couple of days off for those of you that are in the United States

and getting back into the swing of things this week

Today I have Janine Halloran on the show. I think you're going to really

enjoy this interview because she is such a well first of all I really adore her. She is an

amazing person but she also has great

approaches and insight in how to help our kids use coping mechanisms which is

really at the crux of how to help them with a lot of their struggles, especially our anxious kids who need these coping mechanisms, but sometimes don't know how to tap into them.

And even harder are the teenagers, and it's really challenging to get them. And even harder are the teenagers and it's really challenging to get a

teenager to recognize what are coping skills, to recognize what works for them,

without it sounding babyish or annoying or nagging and

Jeanne and I talk about that and she gives us some good approaches on

how to talk to a teenager about coping mechanisms and

which ones can work and how to get them to use them.

So I think you're going to really enjoy this.

Before I get started, I want to remind you to not forget to subscribe to the show
