Summary
What Anxiety Feels Like For Kids
Too often we stigmatize anxiety as if it's something bad when it's completely normal. Kirk recorded this to help both middle/high school kids and their parents normalize anxiety instead of fearing it. Feel free to let your kids listen as it may help them feel understood and stimulate helpful conversations.
