Abigail Gewirtz - When The World Feels Like a Scary Place

It’s not a far stretch to say the world can feel very scary sometimes--and now, especially. If it feels that way for we adults, have you ever wondered how it affects our children? What can we do to guide them--and ourselves--through choppy seas and trying times? How can we work through stress with our children, and what should those conversations with our kids look like?These are hard questions. Luckily, they’re questions we don’t have to answer alone. Our guest today is Dr. Abigail Gewirtz, a professor at the University of Minnesota who has written a book that could not be more timely: When the World Feels Like a Scary Place: Essential Conversations for Anxious Parents & Worried Kids. Dr. Gewirtz is a mother of four, a child psychologist, and an expert on how stress affects families. We clearly have a lot we can learn from Dr. Gewirtz, and we are grateful we get to share our conversation with you today.Support the show
