  • Episode 126: The link between anxiety and stomachaches
    Feb 2 2025

    Discover the connection between the brain and gut, and how anxiety triggers the release of stress hormones which can disrupt your child's digestion.

    Learn why mood imbalances can lead to stomach problems, because of the key neurotransmitter, serotonin, found primarily in the gut.

    Recognise that timing is key; see if there's a pattern between stomach aches and stressful situations.

    Look out for other symptoms of anxiety, such as sleep changes, appetite changes, and irritability.

    Know the difference between anxiety-induced stomach aches and when it's important to seek medical help, particularly if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or blood in the stool.

    Learn how keeping a symptom journal and encouraging open communication with your child can help.

    Get insights into managing your child's anxiety.

  • Episode 124: Understanding Before Change; how to 'look' at Anxiety
    Jan 21 2025

    Understanding Before Change: Huddle Wisdom Podcast Episode 124

    Do you ever feel frustrated by your child's anxiety?

    In this episode, we explore how your own behavior might be impacting your child.

    • We often react quickly to our kids' anxiety.
    • We want to fix it immediately.
    • But sometimes, our reactions can make things worse.

    Take a moment.

    Think about how you respond to your anxious child.

    • Do you get anxious yourself?
    • Do you try to solve their problems?
    • Do you avoid situations that make them anxious?

    Your reactions can unintentionally reinforce your child's anxiety.

    Instead, try this:

    • Understand your own anxiety.
    • Manage your own emotions.
    • Model calm behavior.

    When you change, you'll see a change in your child.

    Listen now to learn more.
