Worries & Wisdom for Parents & Kids

"Sunday Anxiety" is what Amanda calls the anxiety that comes up the day or evening before something changes or something new happens. She touches on how anxiety and excitement can feel very similar in the body, as well as suggestions for how to lay out your Sundays to help combat anxiety and set your child up for a successful week.

What can anxiety look like? It can creep up on us and come out at times and in ways we don't expect! In this episode, we talk about how behaviour is communication.

Amanda talks about the uncertainty of this fast approaching back to school transition and how it is important to both honour our feelings and shift our focus to what we are able to control - namely, ourselves and our home environments.

We would like to invite you to join our "Lead Up to School Anxiety Support Community" by signing up from our website at worriesandwisdom.com. You will receive an invitation to a private Facebook group and then from Monday, August 31 until Friday, September 4, you will receive daily emails with ideas to help support your and your child's anxiety about the back to school transition.  We want to create a community where you feel heard, understood, and supported!

These calls will focus on positive intentions, practical strategies for moving forward, and the shared strength and wisdom of the group. Calls will take place through the Zoom platform. Space is limited for each date - so check out worriesandwisdom.com and register today!

Your host, Amanda Grant, talks about processing anxious emotions - because those feelings have to come out! She tells a story about a recent experience for her son and how the overall goal of helping to manage big feelings for our kids is just to be with them and love them unconditionally through the mess.

Amanda also shares some practical strategies for helping kids to release their worries - whether that anxiety is expressed in a big, outward way, or in a softer, calmer way.

We would love to hear from you! If you connect to what's being said, have feedback to share, or an idea of a situation you would like to see addressed on the show, please reach out! You can email Amanda at [email protected], or leave a voice message through Anchor.
