Q&A: How do I know when my child's anxiety requires a mental health intervention?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

1:52 - When is it appropriate to seek help from a mental health professional to help your child manage their anxiety and fears?

4:40 - How to identify the difference between our child's natural desire for information versus a desire for us to soothe their anxiety.

8:45 - Addressing concepts like death with your child is difficult because it is a scary thing for adults to confront too, which can lead to parents to do more accommodating than is actually helpful long-term.

13:05 - Asking yourself "why now?" - Working to identify if there is anything that activated this sudden shift so you can work toward targeting the root of the problem.

14:48 - Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is a great resource for parents:
