When Anxiety Shows Up at Home
A Calm, Practical Parenting Guide to Supporting Children Through Anxiety & Emotional Regulation (Ages 5–12)
 
When Anxiety Shows Up at Home is a calm, evidence-informed parenting guide designed to help families understand and support childhood anxiety — without panic, pressure, or pathologizing normal emotional responses.
Anxiety in children doesn’t always look like worry alone. It often shows up at home as meltdowns, avoidance, irritability, perfectionism, shutdowns, or resistance — leaving parents unsure whether to push, protect, or intervene.
This guide helps parents understand what anxiety really is, why it often intensifies after school or during transitions, and how to respond in ways that reduce overwhelm while building emotional regulation and resilience over time.
 
Rather than offering quick fixes or reassurance scripts that backfire, When Anxiety Shows Up at Home focuses on co-regulation, emotional safety, and skill-building — helping parents support anxious children without reinforcing avoidance or fear.
 
In this guide, parents will learn how to:
Recognize common signs of anxiety in children ages 5–12
Understand why anxiety often surfaces at home
Respond calmly to anxiety-driven behaviors without minimizing feelings
Support emotional regulation during worry, shutdown, or avoidance
Reduce power struggles while maintaining healthy boundaries
Build confidence and coping skills at a developmentally appropriate pace
 
Written by an experienced educator, When Anxiety Shows Up at Home blends child development knowledge with realistic, relationship-based strategies parents can apply immediately.
The tone is reassuring, respectful, and practical — ideal for parents who want to support their child’s anxiety without pressure, labels, or fear-based approaches.
 
Who this guide is for:
Parents of children ages 5–12
Families navigating anxiety, worry, or emotional overwhelm
