Are We Inadvertently Contributing to Our Child’s Helplessness?

This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.

We all want our kids with anxiety or OCD to believe in themselves. We want them to try hard things. We want them to push through their fears. But we only have so much control on how motivated they are to do those things to help themselves.

We do, however, have control over how we show up to our child’s battle with anxiety or OCD. 

When we over accommodate, over enable and cocoon our kids from all discomfort and failure, we rob them of the opportunity to develop resilience.

It is a balancing act and it looks different for each child.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to find the sweet spot of empowering our kids to face their anxiety or OCD, while not pushing them over the edge.
