Friends! My new book, Don't Burn Your Own House Down is ALMOST HERE!
Countdown: 13 DAYS! (ahhh!) If you haven't already pre-ordered yours, now is the time!!! THANK YOU so much for your support! I love you guys!

In this episode of the Living Easy Podcast, Lindsey Maestas sits down with Robyn Graham, author of You, Me, and Anxiety, to talk about anxiety in children, emotional regulation, and how parents can support anxious kids without unintentionally making things worse.

Together, they explore why so many parents feel overwhelmed and hopeless when navigating childhood anxiety, why children often struggle to emotionally regulate, and how unrealistic expectations from adults can escalate anxiety rather than soothe it.

This conversation offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to create calmer homes, healthier routines, and emotionally safe environments for kids struggling with anxiety.

• Why childhood anxiety is increasing and how it often shows up as irritability, shutdown, or emotional outbursts

• Navigating impatience and emotional spirals when your children don't get what they want with, "Is it heard, hugged, or helped?"

• The powerful truth that we often expect children to emotionally regulate better than adults do

• How a parent's tone, pace, and nervous system directly impact a child's anxiety

• The importance of routines and structure for anxious children

• How to prepare kids for the day in ways that reduce anxiety rather than increase pressure

• Practical parenting strategies for emotionally dysregulated children

• How to fight hopelessness in parenting when anxiety feels constant
