Don't Tell Them to Calm Down: Help Them Feel Safe Enough to Let Go

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why telling an anxious child to "just relax" often does not work and what parents can do instead. They discuss how stress affects the developing brain and how the Eight Great Smarts can help parents respond more personally. Parents will be encouraged to approach anxious kids with compassion and be a steady presence who points them toward the security and peace found in God.
