Parenting kids with anxiety can be really challenging, but a few things have helped in my experience. One of the most important things is trying to stay calm and patient, even when your child is feeling overwhelmed. Kids with anxiety often look to their parents for cues on how to react, so staying supportive and reassuring can make a big difference.

This really captures how big emotions can come from such small moments for toddlers. Their frustration feels huge to them, even when it seems simple to us, and learning how to sit with that emotion is such an important part of parenting. Creating calm, predictable spaces can really help kids regulate and feel safe. Sometimes shared, focused play – like building together with lego star wars sets – can also become a soothing way to redirect anxiety and build confidence at the same time.

With a 6 year old and 8 year old, I constantly struggle with “let them work through this” vs. “I can fix it”. As parents I think we walk that fine line between empowerment and enabling – it’s a tough one!

Mary I love your response! Not only validating their emotions, but helping name them. Excellent advice I will store away if I ever have grand kids.

Try this language with James ,“you want that to open, but it doesn’t.” “You are frustrated, mad, angry (whatever you can sense is his true emotion). “Shall we find something that does open?” And then redirect his attention to something that does open. I have been an early childhood educator for 30 years and find that simple, direct communication that validates feelings works best. Good luck and let me know if you need any other tips.

As the mother of 23 and 28 year old daughters, my philosophy was always to let them struggle/fail at the appropriate age. For example, if they would leave their homework/project at home, I would retrieve it once a semester, after that, it was too bad, they’d have to turn it in late and suffer the consequences. If they didn’t get the playing time they wanted, we encouraged THEM to talk to their coaches to see what they needed to work on. We stayed out of it. It worked great, they’re responsible, well-adjusted and happy adults. My role is to comfort them, and help them problem solve, not to fix the problem myself. Also, as one who works in Graduate Medical Education, we’re all too familiar with the trainee who hasn’t learned these skills and how to take responsibility. And these people are the future physicians of America. Raise your children well!
