Helping children turn anxiety into resilience with parenting expert Michael Grose
Anxiety is a mental health condition, meaning it can affect the way you think, feel and behave. Surveys suggest that anxiety may be on the rise. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, around one in eight Australians (13.1%) had an anxiety related condition in 2017-18, an increase from 11.2% in 2014-15. Mental health services report this number has risen further since COVID.
Respected author and parenting expert Michael Grose knows firsthand how debilitating anxiety can be. Using his own experience and latest research from around the world, he co-wrote Anxious Kids with Dr Jodi Richardson. In this podcast he explains the simple things parents can do to help children move from excessive worry to a place of calm. From replacing screen time with more green time, to helping kids find fun and flow in mindful immersive activities, and improving diet, Michael reveals how little steps can establish lifelong habits that help move anxiety from centre stage to background noise.
