Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why Your Child’s Anxiety Might Be Coming From You | Sissy Goff, MEd, LPC-MHSP & David Thomas, LMSW · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

Like there are no parent-child dorms across the country.

And so unless we're practicing in that direction, it won't feel instinctive when the bigger opportunities arise.

Making sure everybody in the family has one context for practicing something they're not good at.

And that could be really small.

That could be when we go out to a restaurant and I would intuitively get up and go ask for a refill for my kid, have them go to the counter and ask for the refill of a beverage themselves.

Or I might order for them at the restaurant, let them order for themselves.

As early as possible for the very reasons you named.

It's like if I can see that they're safe and they can have the practice, what a great opportunity for them feeling capable.

And to your wisdom, I learn to make good meals when I make lousy meals.

Like, I learn something every time.

That's first attempt in learning.

Correcting their parenting, intervening in some ways where there's not an aligned sense of we're wanting the same things for kids.

And it comes out April 22nd.

I was actually thinking back to the great question you asked a few minutes ago and the parent who felt like I'd done everything wrong.

I would want to say it's never too late.

And we talk about the remedy of playing the long game in the Capable book.

And when our kids feel stuck in some season of their development, remembering that it's just a season.

I laugh a lot with parents about how every developmental theorist would say 13 to 15 is the worst episode of a boy's life.
