Recognizing And Navigating Anxiety In Children, And Resources To Support 

In Episode 3 "Pharmaceutical preventative measures" of the series "How to prevent anxiety in children undergoing urological procedures", MSc. Gülhan Karaöz-Bulut (NL) and Dr. M. İrfan Dönmez (TR) discuss how medications can support anxiety reduction in paediatric urological care. They begin by emphasising that sedation should not be a goal on its own but part of a broader, child-centred strategy aimed at preventing trauma and building trust. The episode reviews several commonly used agents - nitrous oxide, midazolam, dexmedetomidine, clonidine and ketamine - with clear explanations of their benefits, limitations, and suitability for different procedures.The speakers provide guidance on how each medication affects the child's experience, with practical considerations such as onset time, duration, side effects and how they may impact diagnostic results. Special attention is given to the impact of sedatives on urodynamic studies, highlighting where certain agents (like dexmedetomidine or ketamine) may alter bladder function. They also address administration methods, such as intranasal and oral routes, and the importance of planning around food intake and hydration.Throughout, the discussion underscores that medication should be tailored to the individual child and procedure, always supported by experienced clinical staff. The episode closes with a strong reminder that safe and effective sedation enhances both procedural success and the child's well-being.*See references and additional research information hereFor more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

In Episode 2, “Non-pharmaceutical preventative measures" of the series "How to prevent anxiety in children undergoing urological procedures", Dr. Lisette ‘t Hoen (NL) and Dr. Sofie Schilling (NL) discuss how thoughtful, non-medication-based approaches can significantly ease procedural anxiety in children. Drawing from their experience at the Erasmus MC -  Sophia Children's Hospital, they share the importance of assessing each child's age, emotional needs and prior medical experiences to tailor supportive care.The conversation highlights the critical role of communication - not only with children but also with their families - as a foundation for trust and reassurance. The speakers explain how giving children a sense of control, even in small choices, helps reduce anxiety and increase cooperation. They present a range of effective tools, including bubble play, search-and-find books, stress toys and virtual reality headsets, each adapted to the child's developmental stage.Particular attention is given to cognitive distraction techniques that actively engage a child's attention, leaving less mental space for fear. The episode also addresses what can be done during emergencies or at night when child life specialists are unavailable - emphasising that even small, simple gestures by clinical staff can have a big impact.Finally, the discussion turns to newborns, often overlooked in anxiety prevention. The speakers explain how skin-to-skin contact, pacifiers, breastfeeding, and glucose water can all contribute to a calmer, less stressful experience, even in the earliest stages of life.This episode offers highly practical insights for anyone involved in paediatric urological care - underscoring that anxiety prevention can often be achieved with empathy, creativity and the right non-pharmaceutical tools.For more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

In “Episode 1” of the series "How to prevent anxiety in children undergoing urological procedures", Dr. Beatriz Bañuelos Marco (ES) and Dr. Michele Gnech (IT) discuss the basic principles of preventing anxiety, and the impact of urological procedures. Their discussion covers the core psychological and behavioural aspects that contribute to anxiety in children, particularly in the context of invasive urological procedures like catheterisation or surgery. They highlight the critical importance of preparing both the child and their caregivers, using age-appropriate language, clear explanations, and visual aids when necessary.Dr. Gnech draws on his clinical experience to underscore how even common procedures can trigger stress responses if not handled with empathy and planning. Dr. Bañuelos Marco highlights how early assessment of a child's psychological state can help tailor supportive interventions. The discussion touches on the role of hospital environments, the use of distraction techniques, and the impact of parental anxiety on children's emotional regulation.Together, they advocate for a multidisciplinary and preventative approach involving not just urologists, but also nurses, child psychologists and play therapists. The episode serves as an essential starting point for understanding how procedural anxiety can be mitigated with thoughtful communication, planning and compassion. This foundation sets the stage for more focused episodes later in the series, which will examine specific techniques and interventions.For more EAU podcasts, please go to your favourite podcast app and subscribe to our podcast channel for regular updates: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, EAU YouTube channel.

From next year, the government will require primary schools to test children twice a year to measure their progress. That means phonics checks for new entrants; and for those in year three or higher -- reading, writing and maths assessments. Ruth Boyask, from Auckland University of Technology's school of education, spoke to Corin Dann.

So many concerned parents reach out to me, not because they have anxiety, but because their children or teenagers do. Although I definitely have an understanding of what might be happening, as I work with a lot of adults who have had anxiety since they were young or for as long as they can remember, I do not have the capacity at this time to expand my practice to working with children and teenagers. So, I really wanted to have a resource I could direct all these concerned parents to!

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and utilizes evidence-based methods, as she has training in both conventional and natural medicine modalities.

Take my free course Grounding Skills for Anxiety: Take me to the free course Get notified when the course for parents of anxious kids is ready: Sign me up Your job as a parent is not to protect your child from anxiety but to help them learn to be resilient so that they can be functional and healthy humans. To learn the skills to manage emotions and make good choices, not to just try to make anxiety go away. When you learn how to change your fundamental approach to anxiety, you can create a space for your kids to change their relationship to anxiety - so that they can be healthy, resilient, self-assured and functional. The really cool thing about humans is that we can face a lot of challenges, difficulties, trauma or hardship if we just have one thing: Emotional Safety. The number one thing that creates emotional safety is connection. Your relationship with them is like the protective cover of a greenhouse, it creates the environment where growth is possible.  Your connection provides warmth while they face challenges and grow.

On today's episode, the two of us discuss a topic that we see coming up more and more, anxiety in young children. We decided to do an episode on anxiety after Michelle's 3 year old developed a fear of Spiderman at a birthday party. Furthermore, we discuss a common approach "parental accommodation," in which the parent alters the environment to prevent or alleviate the child's fear or anxious feelings. However, this approach can reinforce the child's anxiety or fear response. We hope that after today's episode you leave with different strategies and techniques to help your children combat fears and anxieties. Check out Michelle's Q&A Membership: thrivingtoddler.com
