Parenting young children is nerve-wracking for even the best with us. Late nights, round-the-clock feedings, and completely re-inventing your routine as a family are only some of the challenges faced by parents of young children.
Parenting with anxiety can cause an already stressful situation to become unbearable.
Will parenting with anxiety affect my children?
Children of highly anxious parents are at greater risk of developing problems with sleep, relationships, or success at school.
The good news is, there are steps you can take that will help you remain calm in stressful situations with your child.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you transition from parenting from a place of anxiety to a place of comfort and strength. Learning to fight catastrophic thinking can help you keep your mind in the present and model good coping skills for your children.
