134: How to Help a Child With School Anxiety with Dr. Becky Kennedy, Founder of Good Inside

Starting school can be very exciting for many kids—but it can also be scary. We want to protect our kids, so when we see them worrying or anxious, we want to support them. But how do you help your child with school anxiety?  Today, I’m joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy, founder of Good Inside, to discuss anxiety about starting school, our role in it, and how to support our children if they’re feeling apprehensive.  (This is the second episode of our 3-part back-to-school series.
