mfigueroa+FollowAre You Accidentally Stressing Out Your Kid?Ever wonder if your parenting style is making your kid anxious? Experts say even well-meaning parents can fuel anxiety without realizing it. Things like encouraging avoidance, being overly cautious, or praising only results (not effort) can actually make things worse. Kids pick up on your stress, too!

Sometimes, it’s the little things we say or do that stick with them the most! #ParentingTips #ChildAnxiety #MentalHealth #Health43Share
