“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” —Marie Curie

When kids hear scary headlines, lose normal routines, and feel cut off from friends, anxiety can spike fast—and show up as irritability, clinginess, sleep issues, avoidance, or constant “what if” questions.

This audiobook gives parents practical, calming tools to help children cope with Covid-era stress, uncertainty, social isolation, and the nonstop negativity of news and social media—without dismissing their feelings or accidentally making worry worse.

Inside, you’ll learn how to help your child:

• Calm anxious thoughts and build emotional regulation skills that work in real life
• Talk about illness, safety, and uncertainty in a way that reduces fear (not fuels it)
• Create simple routines that make children feel secure when life feels unpredictable
• Handle loneliness and isolation with connection habits that protect mental health
• Limit anxiety triggers from TV, phones, and social media without constant battles
• Teach coping strategies that reduce panic, overwhelm, and “doom” thinking
• Spot early warning signs of depression or serious distress—and know what to do next
• Rebuild optimism, resilience, and confidence after missed milestones and disruptions
• Strengthen family communication so your child feels heard, supported, and steadier

If your child has been worried, withdrawn, or overwhelmed during these challenging times, press play and learn the tools that help them feel safe again—one day at a time.
