Transitions can be overwhelming for our children and for us. As moms, we want to know how to support a child going through transitions. We might experience our own anxiety, deal with mom guilt, or question whether they are capable of navigating big changes. But with the right strategies in place, we can guide our children, and ourselves, through times of change. Today, I’m joined by Jess VanderWier, founder of Our Mama Village to discuss how to support a child through the transition into school and separation anxiety. (This is the final episode of our 3-part back-to-school series. Don’t miss Episode 133 on kindergarten readiness with Susie Allison of Busy Toddler and Episode 134 on helping children cope with school anxiety with Dr. Becky Kennedy of Good Inside.)  Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3PFO7vS Book a Free 15 min Consult with a mom therapist: happyasamother.co/wellness Follow Happy as a Mother on Instagram: instagram.com/happyasamother Sign up for our weekly VIP Newsletter: happyasamother.co/newsletter Register for one of our popular workshops: happyasamother.co/shop  Learn more about your ad choices.

135: How to Support a Child Going Through Transitions with Jess VanderWier, Founder of Our Mama Village

Sherry Torkos

Alex and Shane chat about belching, taxes, book clubs, Shane's birthday party reveal, Lucy's desire for a puppy, and whether we do what's "best" for our children.    Psychotherapist and powerhouse behind Our Mama Village, Jess VanderWier, discusses keeping our cool as parents, the importance of apologizing, the pressure on new moms, telling secrets, and raising kids who feel confident to ask questions.   Holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos discusses her holistic approach to health, re-engaging in life after the pandemic, and how people can ensure their own safety going forward.    Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like weekly goals, overrated cultural phenomena, favourite lockdown activities, human representation in an alien invasion (lol), and if we give relationship advice to friends.   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    This episode is proudly supported by:   The Dove Self Esteem Project is the worlds largest provider of self-esteem education.
