  • Great podcast!

    I have been waiting for this to drop and it certainly didn’t disappoint, as expected Vanessa and Saskia’s first episode was informative, intelligent, witty and empathetic. I’m sure it will help lots of parents understand their anxious children. Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Am I disciplining too hard?
Q: What is an effective way to handle a child who ignores rules when you are stressed or overwhelmed?
Stay calm, have pre-established rules, and use clear consequences explained in advance; follow through calmly and involve the child in problem-solving so they feel respected and secure.
Breaking Down The News
Q: How should I handle it when my child is anxious about something but gets angry when I try to solve the problem with them?
Stay calm and acknowledge their feelings, avoid arguing or escalating, and suggest taking a break before returning to the discussion. Use a team approach: remind them you're on the same side, and provide a concrete plan for next steps when they're ready.
How to cool down your parental burnout
Q: my wife and I keep arguing in front of the children. We're not getting a divorce, but my children think our marriage is breaking up. What should I do?
Acknowledging the issue, showing children that the couple still loves each other, avoiding putting kids in the middle, and pursuing active repair (apologies, affectionate moments after conflicts) helps. Consider couples therapy if conflicts persist and communicate with children about the healthy shape of the relationship and that divorce is not the current plan.
Am I Causing My Child Anxiety?!
Q: My grandson has same-sex parents and is about to start a new secondary school. I'm just worried that the other pupils might make his life a misery when they find out.
It's likely that there are other families with same-sex parents in the school, and many such families are just as capable of parenting as heterosexual ones. Communication with the school can help ensure support, minimizing any potential issues.
Does FAFO Parenting Actually Work?!
Q: What should I do if my son is nervous about going on a school residential?
You should listen to their concerns, reassure them, and offer support without forcing them to go if they're not ready.
