I’m taking the conversation about anxiety in children somewhere the essay couldn’t go.
In this episode:
I share my own experience of growing up with a form of anxiety that wasn’t labeled or talked about.
I talk honestly about a pattern I see across our community when faced with a child struggling with anxiety, and why that approach, however well-meaning, makes things worse.
And I walk you through the story of what happened when one of my kids asked to see a therapist.
This episode is for the Muslim parent who’s quietly worried about one of their children, who’s tried the systems and found them lacking, and who needs to hear that their presence is not a consolation prize. It’s the work.
You’re doing better than you think.
With du’a
