In this week’s episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer shares how she first realized Calvin's nightly stomachaches weren't always physical, and what happened when she finally reached out to therapists Sissy Goff and David Thomas for help. The authors of Capable and co-hosts of Raising Boys and Girls break down the anxiety epidemic hitting kids earlier than ever: what the warning signs actually look like, why boys need to move before they can breathe through it, and how a calm down corner changed everything for Calvin. They also tackle the harder stuff — co-parenting after divorce, the "Parent Trap" phenomenon, and the screen time conversation nobody wins. Plus a rapid-fire "big deal or small deal" round covering secret social media accounts, lying about why you can't get a pet, having a favorite child, and kids who just will not stop fighting. • 0:00 — Calvin's Calm Down Corner: "Can I Really Punch a Pillow?". • 0:23 — Introducing Sissy Goff & David Thomas: The Therapists Who Help
