Anxiety has an amazing ability to spread

Anxiety has a significant impact on parents and children, as it has the ability to spread throughout the family system. Parents who struggle with anxiety are more likely to have children who also experience anxiety. The spread of anxiety can be biological and environmental, with factors like technology and social media contributing to increased anxiety levels. It is crucial for parents to take care of their own mental health and seek counseling or medication if necessary, as this can positively impact their children's mental well-being.
