I talk a lot about child and teen anxiety and how to help your kids not just manage the stresses of childhood/teen years but thrive through them… but what about us parents? Parenting is hard, stressful, and easy to feel like giving up some days. Parents who can’t keep it together raise kids who can’t keep it together, and today my guest Caris Snider and I talk about managing the stresses of parenting today and how to be more emotionally available and be a source of calm and grounded support for your kids. Caris is the author of the book “Anxiety Elephants”, a mother of 2, based in Alabama. Oh and my wife gobbled Caris’ book up and said it was amazing help for her mental health.
Check her out at www.CarisSnider.com and you can order “Anxiety Elephants” on Amazon or anywhere you get your books.
P.S. Turn off the news, turn off Facebook, unfollow everyone on social media that makes you feel bad/inadequate/the world is going to end.
