What happens when everyday worries begin to take over?
The Tonawanda City School District Family Support Center is exploring that important question in the latest episode of its podcast, The Village Within Reach.
Now live, Episode 3, "When Worry Takes Over: Understanding Anxiety in Kids," takes a closer look at what anxiety can look like in children and teens, how it can affect daily life, and ways families can help young people navigate big feelings.
While worry is a normal part of growing up, this episode helps families recognize when those worries may be developing into something more significant. Joined by two special guests, the conversation offers practical insights into the signs of anxiety and strategies parents and caregivers can use to support children at home.
Whether a child experiences occasional worries or more persistent anxiety, listeners will gain a better understanding of how anxiety impacts behavior, emotions and everyday experiences, while learning tools that can help children feel more confident and supported.
The Village Within Reach is designed to provide families with accessible resources, expert insights and real-world strategies that support children's well-being and success.
