Everyday situations and environments can evoke feelings of fear, anxiety, and emotional turmoil that can lead to overwhelm if we don’t have the skills to properly process our emotions. And, with the constant barrage of information from all over the globe of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, how do we categorize what we are feeling and help our children to do the same? How do we build resiliency and strengthen our emotional well-being? Is laughter the best medicine?

To track down tools to help us better manage our fears and redirect our attention to something more productive, Positive Psychology Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Dr. Abigail Gewirtz, an award-winning child psychologist, who creates skills-based programs for parents. And, Jordan Reid, a lifestyle blogger, and author, who pokes fun at her anxious nature and creates calming tools for other anxious people.
