The Dad Edge Podcast

How to Parent Kids with Anxiety and Depression

More kids are suffering from anxiety and depression than in any other previous generation. What is it like to raise kids who suffer from anxiety and depression? How can partners align without pointing fingers and being hurtful? I went on the <a href="https://www.anxioustoddlers.com/dads-raising-anxious-kids/#.XMnwkpNKjOQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Parenting Survival Podcast</a> to talk about the struggles I had parenting my son who has anxiety issues. Most dads are ill equipped to manage this problem, and a special skill set is required along with understanding and patience. I discuss how to use emotional validation and tactical empathy to connect and communicate with our kids as well as our wives. I also give advice on how ladies can better communicate with their men without putting them on the defensive.
