How far would you go to accommodate your child's anxiety? It's only natural to want to keep the peace and prevent distress, but constant accommodations can take a toll on the entire family - turning a simple outing or quiet evening into a cycle of stress and meltdowns. The hard truth is that while accommodating may feel like the right thing in the moment, it doesn't help your child build the confidence and coping skills they need. Instead, it teaches them to rely on you to manage their anxiety rather than learning to navigate it themselves.
