BONUS: ADHD and Anxiety in Kids- How to Spot It and Support Them
Description
In this bonus episode, Sam explores how ADHD and anxiety often show up together in children- sometimes long before anyone realises what’s really going on.
He’s joined by child anxiety specialist Saskia Joss for a compassionate and eye-opening chat about how anxiety shows up in kids with ADHD- and what parents, carers and teachers can do to help.
From masking and after-school meltdowns, to why “movement breaks” sometimes backfire, Saskia explains what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how small shifts in understanding and support can transform a child’s confidence and wellbeing.
Whether you’re parenting, teaching, or simply trying to understand a child’s ADHD better, this is a practical, hopeful guide to helping young minds feel safe, seen and supported.
