Welcome to The Mom Sweat Sanity Podcast! Joining us for episode number one is clinical counsellor and mental health and wellness expert, Jenna Gleeson. Jenna specializes in child and family counselling, helping clients identify and tackle issues with anxiety and stress appearing in younger members. In our conversation, we get to hear from our guest about the basics of anxiety in children and the common signs of unusual amounts of stress on young minds and bodies. Jenna unpacks the impact that family dynamics have and how symptoms of an environment are reflected in children's health and behaviour. We go through some tell-tale signs of high stress and Jenna explains how these differ across age groups. From there, we turn to some strategies and methods for addressing these kinds of issues, starting with conversations and the examples that are set for children. For Jenna, experiences of anxiety are on a continuum, and all children should feel it is okay to have these feelings, and this starts with parents and their behaviours and attitudes towards difficult circumstances or events. We talk about the power of daily check-ins, the evolving landscape of mental health discourse, and why trying to set a perfect example is detrimental to a child's self image. For this illuminating and important conversation, be sure to listen to the show today!
