Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.
What's the best way to talk to an anxious kid? Should you tell them not to worry? Or will that just make things worse?
Anxiety is one of the biggest topics plaguing parents today.
Maggie Dent, the queen of no-nonsense parenting, podcaster, author and educator, joins us to talk about anxiety. She shares her wisdom on understanding and claiming anxiety, what not to say to anxious kids and how to open up those necessary yet difficult conversations about death.
Plus, on parenting mentors, what do you do when your child gets invited to places that you can't necessarily afford to attend?
