7. How Our Kids May Experience Stress and Anxiety

In this episode, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked—how stress and anxiety can show up in our kids. We often talk about how we feel as moms, but the truth is, our kids are navigating a lot too. From school pressures to home expectations, their little bodies and minds can carry more than we realize. I share real-life examples of how stress and anxiety can present in kids—not always as big emotions, but sometimes as stomachaches, irritability, or trouble sleeping. We’ll talk about what to look for, how to respond with curiosity instead of comparison, and ways to help our kids name what they’re feeling so they can start to manage it. Plus, I’ll give you three practical takeaways you can start using today. Because when we tune in to what our kids are feeling, we help them feel seen—and that’s a powerful first step.
