Parenting a child with anxiety can impact so much more than just your child. It can affect your routines, your stress levels, your communication, and the dynamic between you and your spouse. When parents are not aligned in how they respond, it can quickly create tension, frustration, and conflict inside the marriage.
In this episode, I’m joined by therapist and parenting coach Robin Isman to talk about how childhood anxiety impacts the entire family system. We discuss the common parenting responses that can accidentally reinforce anxiety, why couples often clash in how they approach it, and how parents can learn to work together as a team instead of turning against each other in the process.
Tune in to discover:
• The parenting patterns that can unintentionally reinforce anxiety
• Why couples often disagree on how to respond to an anxious child
• How childhood anxiety impacts the marriage dynamic
• The difference between supporting and accommodating your child
