Children and parents kind of trigger one another.

So a child's anxiety sets off a parent's anxiety because anxiety is a really uncomfortable feeling.

So often parents are learning the skill set along with their child.

And a part of it is learning how to tolerate the discomfort rather than immediately giving into it.

Sure.

I am a clinical psychologist.

I have a private practice in New Hampshire in the US and I see children ages twelve and under and their parents.

And I'm also the author of eight books at this point.

And my specialty area is anxiety.

I kind of fell into that.

It wasn't really by design.

Um, I fell into it by having an anxious child.

And I had an anxious child at a time that I was a psychologist, but I didn't really know much about treating anxiety.

And

I parented in the way that seemed logical and loving to me, not realizing that I was inadvertently feeding his anxiety.

And the more I accommodated him, the worse things got.

And um we were a ways down that road before I realized that I needed to to understand something differently, I needed to do something differently.

And I kind of newly discovered cognitive behavioral therapy, which had been out for a while.

I just hadn't been too exposed to it in my training.

And um we went down a very different path with our son.
