The Impact of Parental Anxiety on Children

Parental anxiety can have a significant impact on children. Anxiety can spread from a parent to a child, making the child feel unsettled and worried. Parents' anxious behavior and facial expressions can be picked up by kids, leading them to believe that something is wrong or that they are at fault. It is important for parents to be aware of how their anxiety affects their children and to prioritize their own emotional well-being in order to create a healthier environment for their kids.
