In this podcast episode, we sit down with Clinical Counselor,
Dawn Friedman, to discuss steps parents can start taking now,
whether they're approaching or currently navigating a divorce, to
help reduce their child's anxiety, and support their mental
well-being through difficult transitions. In this interview, Dawn
covers the following:



Divorce does not have to be bad for kids.

Parents staying in unhappy marriages can be bad for kids’
mental health.

Many parents are struggling with the other parent “letting
down” the child.

Recognizing that you and your child are having different
experiences.

Getting support for your child makes a big difference in how
kids weather divorce.

There are many, many ways to be a happy family.

It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Parenting an anxious child is confusing and exhausting. It’s
hard to make the right decisions when those decisions aren’t
always clear.
