Everything You Need to Know to Help Kids Manage their Anxiety with Renowned Yale Psychologist Dr. Eli Lebowitz

Raising Good Humans

ADVICE

Supporting vs. Accommodating Children's Anxieties

  • Differentiate between supporting a child's anxiety and accommodating their fears by asking yourself if the situation is truly an emergency.
  • Avoid accommodating anxieties that are not emergencies, as this can reinforce avoidant behaviors.
  • Understand that not getting a desired item like a library book may be disappointing, but it's not comparable to a life-threatening situation.
  • Validate your child's big feelings, but don't let them dictate your actions if the situation is not an emergency.
  • Remember that allowing a child to experience manageable disappointments is a valuable part of their growth.
