Podcast Ep. 23 Tammi Kirkness - Helping your kids tackle anxiety, especially when times are tough.

I don't know about you, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of good news about at the moment. As a community our mental health is at an all-time low, sometimes just getting through the day is tough. But if we're doing it tough, stop for a minute and think of the kids. How on earth are they coping?

While resilient, more often than not, kids will struggle to understand what's going on around them and that leads to worry and anxiety. Today's guest Tammi Kirkness, life coach, author and corporate wellness speaker and presenter says that when our kids worry it takes away some of their happiness. So as parents and care-givers, what can we do to help our kids right now?

Today, Tammi and I are going to dive into some strategies that will help parents, grandparents and carers navigate the anxiety that their kids might be feeling right now. It all comes down to processing and mastering the fear and then using Tammi's first-aid kit to find a solution.
