How Your Childhood Influences How You Parent an Anxious Child

You are learning how to be a parent from a very young age, even from toddlerhood. Seriously! Everything you see, every interaction you have, will impact how you parent your own children. This can be inspiring or daunting depending on what type of childhood you had. But regardless of whether it was good, bad or in between you get to decide how your childhood influences your parenting. This is especially true when you parent an anxious child.

What triggers your own issues, your own memories?

The first step is awareness. Awareness of what is driving your parenting and awareness of what is stirring underneath. The more you understand, the more you can parent with purpose.
