Help Them Bloom

Why does it feel like so many kids are anxious, overwhelmed, and melting down lately? I break down what’s really behind the rise in childhood anxiety — and it’s not just behavior, temperament, or “bad habits.” Children’s nervous systems are biologically wired for slowness, rhythm, predictability, and unstructured play, yet modern life moves at an adult pace: rushed mornings, packed schedules, overstimulating screens, and constant transitions. This mismatch is leaving kids disregulated — and their anxiety often shows up through sleep struggles, meltdowns, stomach aches, emotional outbursts, and difficulty handling small challenges. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why anxiety in kids shows up in behavior, not words - How overstimulation and packed schedules dysregulate the nervous system - The hidden cost of too many transitions and activities - Why unstructured play and boredom are essential for emotional regulation - How parental stress directly impacts a child’s nervous system - Why doing less, not more, is often the solution - Simple ways to slow mornings, afternoons, and bedtime routines - How to create rhythm without rigidity in your home Subscribe to Help Them Bloom:  Follow us on Instagram: @hatchandbloomco instagram.com/hatchandbloomco  Visit our website: https://www.hatchandbloom.co/ Produced by Haynow Media: https://haynowmedia.com/
