Deep dives
The significance of a non-anxious presence in parenting
Being a non-anxious presence in parenting is crucial to create a sense of safety and trust for children. By staying calm and composed, parents can effectively support their children in coping with challenges and making their own decisions. It is important for parents to manage their own anxiety and fears, as children pick up on their parents' emotions. A non-anxious presence helps children develop their own sense of competence, problem-solving skills, and intrinsic motivation. Parental acceptance, respect, and enjoyment of their children also contribute to a healthy parent-child relationship and foster a sense of control and self-confidence in children. By focusing on enjoying and trusting our children, we can help them navigate the challenges and build resilience.
