Parenting Anxiety

Sally Kohn: If you get too far away, you're in danger and a sense that the world is not quite safe. So exploratory behavior in these kids, it's seen as a lot of riskier in their own body to gettoo far away.

But being in tune to the internal state of anxiety may make you more preoccupied with the dangers of the outside world., she writes.
