You know that gut-wrenching feeling when your child is scared?

Whether it's a toddler crying about monsters under the bed or a teenager having a panic attack about their future - seeing our kids afraid triggers something primal in us.

We want to fix it, protect them, make the scary thing go away.

But sometimes our own "stuff" gets in the way of truly supporting them.

In this week's episode, we explore how parents' own experiences and beliefs about fear can cloud their judgment when helping scared kids.

Through real examples, we'll look at what actually helps kids develop a healthy relationship with fear.

Tune in, because these insights might transform your next challenging moment with your scared child.
