Worry Free Kids with Sissy Goff

Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant are joined by Sissy Goff to have a conversation about how we can disciple our kids when they face worry or anxiety.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • Could you tell us a little about your family and your ministry?
  • Is there a reason that this generation of kids and adults is dealing with so much pervasive anxiety?
  • Could you give us a basic definition of worry or anxiety?
  • What kinds of things are kids afraid of that are making them anxious?
  • How do we help a kid to develop a sense of perspective that is more accurate and how is that going to help?
  • How does what we as Christians believe about worry and anxiety play into how we parent an anxious child?
  • Why do you think that is so hard for people to be free enough to laugh at their own mistakes?
  • How are kids coping with stress and are there healthy ways to help them cope?
  • What is the balance between letting my kid face some failures and providing a hurt-free environment when possible?
  • How do we, as parents, navigate that the bottom line of worry is that our anxious kids care so much?
  • How does a parent identify profound anxiety in a child or in themselves? Like, when would we know if it’s the right time to go seek help for our child?
  • For the parent who right now is overwhelmed, maybe they are anxious about their kids own anxiety, what encouragement or compassion do you have to offer them today?
  • Are there any scriptures that have been especially precious to you as you’ve counseled people through anxiety?
  • What are some ways that we can be praying for you?
