Coping with Anxiety due to the COVID-19 Crisis

Maribeth answers a question from our Facebook group regarding anxiety her child is experiencing due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Are anyone else’s kids having difficulty sleeping due to anxiety over this pandemic? My 11 year old has been coming into my room in the middle of the night in tears- the past few nights because she can’t sleep, because she is scared. I hug her, let her cry, and try to assure her that we are doing what we can to stay safe and healthy, etc. but what else should I be doing to reassure her?

Maribeth offers ways to recognize and address anxiety in your children as they live through an unprecedented crisis.

The resources she references in the episode can be found here.
