Anxiety is one of the most common experiences parents bring to us. This pathway moves from understanding what anxiety is, to responding without escalating, to gently building courage over weeks — not days.

A narrated introduction — what anxiety actually is, how your response either settles or feeds it, and how courage gets built one small step at a time.
