Name the Fear: The Anxiety Monster Activity for Kids
from Parent with Grace Podcast · host Nicole
In this episode, we explore why anxiety shows up so often in children, especially those who are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and how misunderstandings and environmental mismatches can make things worse. Tune in for a compassionate look at anxiety as a nervous-system signal rather than bad behavior. We also introduce the Anxiety Monster Activity, a simple, playful worksheet that helps kids draw and name their anxiety, share what it feels like, and practice calming strategies together with parents. It’s a practical tool for opening conversations, building connection, and teaching coping skills.
