Back to School Anxieties: Theirs and Ours

Welcome to Being aParent is Hard! This episode tackles the timely topic of back to school anxiety, for our kids and for us as parents. Whether the structure of the school year can't come fast enough or you are mourning the end of summer, the start of the school year always comes with a flurry of anxiety. Children often have anxiety around separation and social issues. Teenagers deal with anxiety connected to social issues, academic performance, and the social/developmental challenges around sexuality, substance use, and the long process of planning for college. As parents, we are anxious about anything that jeopardizes the happiness and well-being of our kids. And we have our own competitive anxieties, relationship stressors, and often, worries about our own parents. There's a lot to cover. Please join us!
