Episode 21: Parental Anxiety

Mini First Aid Season 3 Episode 21

Is it normal to suffer with anxiety when you become a parent? 

Why do we feel anxious as our children reach particular milestones? 

What is ‘normal’ anxiety and when should we worry that it has become something more? 


These questions and more are answered in today’s Family Health Podcast episode in which Kate chats with Jaimie Shires, a Counsellor, Self-Development Mentor and Mental Health Educator.


Jaimie talks to us about why we get anxious, how we can talk to our children about the things that worry us without frightening or confusing them, and where we can turn to for support if we think our anxiety is affecting our wellbeing.
