Whatz It Feel Like: The toll of parenting a child with anxiety
Laura is the creator of Whatz It Feel Like. She describes the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a child with severe anxiety. Her daughter's anxiety often manifested with vomiting so by the time she was five she had thrown up about 400 times. There were constant tantrums and life was very difficult before they sought out help. Laura opens up about the effect of the anxiety on the whole family and the feelings of failure that can often come with parenting a child who struggles with mental health. Brooke is now 10 and managing her anxiety with mediation and therapy.
