When Kids Worry Too Much
Redefine anxiety and foster resilience in kids
No matter what the age of your child, even the happiest child will worry sometimes. But how much worry is too much? What can you do to help your child cope? How can you support them without getting sucked into it yourself?
Even as a thoughtful, conscious parent, your child might have anxiety that gets in the way of everyday things. You know the signs… you feel it in the pit in your stomach, you’re worried that your child will lose it because of daily life, the plans that changed, the expectations that got built up and were unfulfilled, the small thing you said that sent your child over the edge. You walk on eggshells through your day.
It’s especially hard to see your child suffer if you’ve read, studied, and worked on your parenting skills. If you’ve been commited to parenting in a “new way”. If you see your child worry and secretly blame yourself, or wonder what you did wrong?
What if there was another way? What if there were things that even the most well-informed parents weren’t taught growing up?
We asked a few of the top parenting experts how to escape this cycle. They have simple tools and guilt-free techniques that parents can use when their kids are stressed, worried and anxious to redefine anxiety as a normal emotion, something that is helpful, even useful and energizing.
What if you didn’t have to worry about your child’s worry? What if you and your child had tools and a plan for handling anxiety? What if you knew how to help your child be resilient?

You walk on eggshells through your day.
If you are a parent of a toddler or younger child, you know that they are learning to understand their feelings and regulate their emotions, and they don’t have the life experience and perspective to understand many of the things happening in their world. But you’ve noticed that it’s not really helpful when you try to explain why something is happening, why it’s “not a big deal”, or why this uncomfortable feeling will go away. How can a parent best support their young child to develop resilience and bounce back?
For older children and teens, the world is complicated and busy. Stress and anxiety comes from all sides–school, grades, friends, social media, screens, and making plans for the future when the world looks so uncertain. Adolescents have some life experience and can be logical, but they might be worried about the same things that worry you too. How do you support your teen and still stay grounded yourself? And how do you encourage the reluctant adolescent to talk when he thinks that “you don’t get it”?

Happily Family Testimonials
I feel so encouraged and empowered – you and all the presenters made all the content so easily accessible to understand, easy to implement, and it was fun. I love how you and so many presenters used personal experiences and made it so relatable. It's very powerful for a self- bashing mind to hear that even you are not always perfect and that it's ok!! 🙂 Instead of beating myself up I feel really encouraged to give myself some grace and my kids will be so much better for it. You have truely made a massive difference, thank you thank you THANK YOU!!
– Ingrid
Huge THANK YOU for validating ALL my feelings as a mother (I have 3 kids)! (literally bawling right now) Thanks for saying its rough AND ITS OKAY!
– Tin Cabral-De la Cerna
Changes I have noticed–life has become more peaceful, there has been less anxiety and less yelling. I share techniques with my son who has some trouble with emotional regulation and social skills in groups & he is showing so much improvement! I am amazed at the huge importance of connection, relationship and conversations. I really feel like I am on a mission these days–as someone who is diagnosed with anxiety which has caused much fear and missing out on things–I really feel the need to help children develop skills for coping and resiliency so they can become the best versions of themselves. I am so so grateful for these techniques.
– Lisa Benson
Wow!! Incredible! I have laughed and cried! But most of all I have come away with such an amazing renewed sense of who I am as a mom and how to continue the journey that I honor and cherish day after day. Thank you so much!

Hi Cecilia and Jason, I want to say a heartfelt thank you. [My parenting] is getting deeper, clearer, yet lighter. More bite-sized and digestible. It stays with me… There is no way around doing our deep inner work… I just had a meeting with my young son's teacher and middle school representative… I was able to show up in a warm and connected way, yet not shrink back from any of the potentially tough questions… I left the fear and charge behind and bought only openness and attention. I was most wonderfully supported by the modeling you and Jason did… Thank you! …With immense appreciation & love.
– Katerina
