Parental responses to child anxiety
As parents, we often naturally want to shield our kids from distress, sometimes leading to avoiding challenging situations. Whilst this might offer short-term relief, it can limit their growth in facing and overcoming anxieties. Sometimes, supporting them to gradually face their fears can be the best way to help them to develop confidence and coping skills.
