It is so hard to see our kids struggle. As parents, many of us know what things might trigger our child’s anxiety.

How often do we flinch before they feel anxious?

How often do we swoop in and remove the trigger before our child experiences it?

How often do we catch them before they even fall?

I know I have been guilty of this!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the knee jerk reaction to rescue our kids from potential anxiety and how it can actually serve to grow their anxiety long term.
