And so I think in order to manage our own anxiety, it's important to talk to our partners about our fears and our anxieties, not even in the extreme.
I often encourage parents, even when things are going pretty well,
Stop in and see a therapist on occasion and work through your feelings.
Somebody who knows parenting pretty well and talk about what your insecurities are, what your fears are, what your anxieties are.
The only place I encourage parents not to bring that is to their relationship with their kids.
because i want parents to recognize that your your children are already pretty anxious you know just just by virtue of being their age right now there is an awful lot of anxiety and coming from a whole bunch of different places in their lives most every significant area of their lives carries some degree of anxiety and in a cumulative way they don't have space to take on yours
So anywhere else that you can share that.
And, you know, I love there's a there's a group here in town of parents that get together and they just talk about parenting teens.
And I will probably be speaking with them in the next month or so.
And I think that's so beautifully adaptive to the times because.
it's difficult and it's different to be a parent now than it ever has been.
So to talk about like, you know, okay, I found this in my child's inbox or in my child's backpack, or I'm worried about this.
You're usually going to get some nods from other parents, you know, that where it's like, yep, me too.
You know, like, let's, let's talk about that.
You know, like, how do we ease our minds or let's brainstorm?
Like, you know, what's the best way to handle this?
without adding to the anxiety our children are already carrying, but also addressing our concerns.
You know, we don't want to be completely disempowered as parents.
So I love the idea of parents empowering each other and brainstorming together in this new age, because I feel like in a lot of ways, just like kids are pioneers in that they're the first to have been brought up with social media and some of the academic and social pressures,
We parents are also pioneers.
