If you're a parent watching your teen or young adult struggle with anxiety, it can feel helpless. You’ve tried everything—reassuring them, offering advice, even stepping in to solve the problem—but nothing seems to work. You just want them to feel better.

But what if the best way to help… isn’t fixing it?

In this special episode of Block Out the Noise, Jessica Davis, licensed therapist and mindset coach for teens and young adults, speaks directly to parents. She shares five powerful ways to support your anxious child—without taking over—so they can build resilience, confidence, and the courage to handle life’s challenges.

You’ll learn how to connect with your child in ways that validate their experience, promote emotional growth, and help you step back without stepping away.

What You’ll Learn:

• The #1 mistake most well-meaning parents make—and what to do instead
• Why “just relax” or “don’t worry” might be doing more harm than good
• How to help your child build independence, even when it’s hard to watch
• What anxious teens really wish their parents would say in tough moments
