Hello from Peru 🥰
This podcast somehow manages to be fun to listen to while also providing practical and creative tips for supporting anxious children - not an easy feat!
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.
