• Coverage of how some misguided policies are making parents and children more anxious
• The brain, including how the pre-frontal middle cortex and the amygdala operate, and where fear and anxiety originates
• Commonly misused phrases and cognitive distortions used by children and their peers
• A helicopter view of what risks we can allow and which require us to keep children safe
