Anxiety in kids is more common than many people realize. As an anxious parent, it can be challenging to see your child struggling to handle anxious thoughts and feelings. 

However, anxiety doesn’t have to take over their life—or yours! You can help your child develop skills to manage it. Here are five practical strategies to support them.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. This year, the focus is on mental health at work. Where we work can really affect how we think, feel, and show up for our family. Many people spend about 8 hours a day at their job–and for parents, that work continues at home.

Balancing work and home can be tough. Dealing with a sleepless night or managing a tween’s attitude may be hard to shake off and leave behind. Stress at home can make those long workdays even harder! 

Mental health is important to overall health at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
