When our kids have anxiety, all we want as parents, is to reassure them and protect them. And while these instincts are lovely and well-intentioned, they don't actually help our kids manage their anxieties and fears. In today's conversation, Dr. Becky helps a parent understand and address their kid's intense anxiety.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb: Before Dr. Becky was a parent, she thought planning a family vacation would be a breeze… until she realized how much has to come together for a trip with two adults and three kids. Then she discovered Airbnb Guest Favorites. No more combing through options, reviews, and features. Guest Favorites are the most loved homes on Airbnb according to other guests. And that peace of mind when preparing for a trip is huge. Using Guest Favorites couldn’t be easier: Just go to Airbnb, add your destination, tap the filters and hit the toggle for Guest Favorites. It’s that simple.
