In this debut episode of ‘Our Kids, In Mind’, Clinical Psychologists, Bettina Hohnen and Jane Gilmour set the ball rolling with Dr. Dawn Huebner, Parent Coach and author of 10 books for children that have sold well over a million copies including ‘Outsmarting Worry’, ‘Something Bad Happened’ and her latest, ‘The Sibling Survival Guide’. 

Touching on the effectiveness of modelling calm behaviour in order to help children ‘ride out’ anxious feelings, the ingenious creative metaphors to be found within the pages of Dawn’s books, ‘emodiversity’ and the need to get children labelling emotions and using words beyond ‘upset’, this episode is filled with tips for supporting children to build resilience and emotional wellbeing for life.
