"How Anxiety Shows Up in Your Kid's Sports & Activities"
Lynn Lyons is an international speaker and psychotherapist based in Concord, New Hampshire who helps children and families manage anxiety disorders. In this podcast, Lynn address a frequent question she's been getting lately about performance anxiety, specifically surrounding sports. "Should we push our child to compete? What if they love to practice but don't perform during games? The truth is that very few children will actually become pro athletes, so sports and other activities become opportunities to learn valuable anxiety and emotional management skills."

Dr. Becky Kennedy is a clinical psychologist, parent, and founder of the podcast, Good Inside.
