This week the "Yucky Mommy" podcast has their first ever guest on! She is a licensed child psychologist who specializes in early childhood through young adulthood and offers anxiety treatment for children and families, while also offering psych evals and neuropsychological testing. This guest is also a dear friend of Jessica's and owns her own practice in Tampa Bay called Tampa Pediatric Psychology. Her business also consults with patients virtually throughout the area and even takes patients from out of state.
Dr. Kristin Edwards brings a boat load of knowledge to this weeks podcast episode and we are so thankful to have her on. She discusses anxiety in children and the signs and symptoms to look out for. She also gives parents advice and knowledge on how to deal with anxiety and mental health struggles in children. Dr. Kristin Edwards talks about where anxiety can come from in children and when to know if it's more of a disorder rather than just a moment.
Can anxiety come from genetics? How much of anxiety comes from devices? Are having arguments in front of our kids and having these "big emotions" healthy for our children to see from us as parents? How much is too much when it comes to being an overbearing parent? Listen to find out the answer to those and more.
We also give Dr. Kristin Edwards scenarios and "Yucky Mommy" moments that she gives her opinion and advice on.
Book Recommendation by Dr. Kristin Edwards: "Breaking Free From Child Anxiety and OCD" by Eli R. Lebowitz, PhD
