Calming Coronavirus Anxiety: A Special Interview With Dr. Shefali Tsabary

Kids don&apos;t often mask their emotions, and frustration is no exception. From throwing the puzzle across the room, to slamming school books closed, to sitting and pouting on the bench at the baseball game, kids (and some adults) are very comfortable showing us their low tolerance for frustration. So how do we help them through it? Ed and Renee have plenty of ideas about how we can boost our kids&apos;, and our own, willingness to push through difficult and frustrating tasks. Support the show (https://gozen.com/dearanxiety/)

Coaching Kids Through Frustration

What does it mean to be authentic? Co-host Ed Crasnick concedes early on that he has no idea, and in doing so, proves that he himself is truly authentic. In this episode, Ed, together with Renee Jain, explore what it means to be authentic, to be genuinely comfortable with yourself and your abilities, and to be transparent and honest in our friendships and interactions. Support the show (https://gozen.com/dearanxiety/)

Party Survival Guide

Few campaigns rival the strength and popularity of anti-bullying efforts, and justifiably so. It&apos;s important to project our kids. But what if there was a different approach, or one of at least equal importance? "If we victim-proof kids, we bully-proof schools," says Brooks Gibbs, award winning resilience educator and author of Raise Them Strong. In this episode, Ed and Renee visit portions of a recent interview with Brooks, and talk through conflicts, apologies, emotional resilience, and "dealing with jerks."Support the show (https://gozen.com/dearanxiety/)
