The Anxiety Feed: Protecting Your Child’s Peace of Mind | Episode 478

Is your home’s atmosphere inadvertently fueling your child’s fears? Dr. Roger Smith discusses the impact of constant news cycles and negative media on a child’s sense of safety. Because children often struggle to distance themselves from global tragedies, a steady stream of "bad news" can make the world feel like an inherently dangerous place. This episode offers practical advice on how to curate the information entering your home, the importance of providing context for rare events, and how to become a calming, reassuring influence rather than a source of worry.
