  • 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 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.
The Birds, The Bees and our Bodies
Q: Can you help me please? My little girl is nine, she was always a terrific eater and suddenly she's only eating beige food. I'm worried that she has food anxiety.
Food anxiety is common among children, and while it can vary, it's important to remain calm and creative in presenting different foods, emphasizing that taste buds change over time.
Should My Child Use Social Media
Q: I'm anxious about potty training my daughter, I'm under pressure to do it, I'm not sure she's ready, how do I know, and how do I get started?
Focus on helping children understand their body's signals related to urination, such as being wet, mid-wee, and pre-wee, and recommend methods that involve monitoring them closely during the training period.
Do you have Janxiety?
Q: How can you help a child who is experiencing school anxiety, especially at the start of the new year?
Identify the reasons school feels worrying for the child, address difficulties, and create a plan for gradual re-engagement without overwhelming them.
