Typically anxiety can be boiled down to a fear of the unknown or uncontrolled circumstances, particularly about future events. Parenting with that in mind, be aware of how often you discuss tragedy or watch the news in front of your kids.

Try to be mindful of who might be within earshot when talking about these sorts of topics.
