Anxious Parenting: Learning To Do Less! (Podcast Ep 329)

Anxious parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when your own anxiety drives you to do more - more rescuing, more protecting, more intervening. But what if the path to better parenting actually requires learning to do less? In this episode, I'm joined by anxiety specialist Joanna Hardis to talk about how anxious parenting patterns keep us stuck and what we can really do about them. Joanna just released her new book "Just Do Nothing (For Parents): Parenting Better by Doing Less" and she brings incredible insight into why anxious parenting makes us want to swoop in and fix everything our kids feel. We talk about the false binary many parents feel trapped in, how to tell if you're reacting to your own distress or responding to the actual situation, and practical ways to build distress tolerance so you can break free from anxious parenting cycles. If you struggle with anxious parenting, whether you have toddlers, teenagers, or adult children, this conversation will give you a new framework for understanding why you do what you do and how to make different choices that serve both you and your kids better.
