Several of our experts from our Provider Directory have come together in our fourth Roundtable discussion of 2024. This is Part 2 of our discussion on mothers' main worries and strategies to address them. In this episode, the experts discuss the importance of balancing extracurricular activities. They discuss managing children's anxiety in extracurricular activities and the need for healthy, non-toxic extracurricular environments. The experts talk about a mother’s concern over the health and well-being of their children when it comes to particular milestones and how it can become an overwhelming worry.

Make sure you listen to Part 1 where we discuss the difference between typical worries and more serious mental health concerns like anxiety disorders and OCD. We also discuss maintaining physical stamina over time when parents need a lot of physical energy to handle the daily tasks of raising children, such as requiring constant energy, resilience, and flexibility.
