This Is Not What I Was Expecting

So much anxiety

Episode Summary

When you're the parent of a child with anxiety you can forget about following the advice in parenting books. Our children aren't trying to give us a hard time, they're having a hard time. Tracy, Perl and Christina have a chat about ways they help their anxious children and how their children's anxiety affects them.
