Parenting Choices Decoded

Understand how your emotional responses directly shape your child's. Studies show that children learn anxious behaviors by observing their parents. This process, known as social referencing, means your reactions in new situations can teach your child to be fearful. The good news is that because this is a learned behavior, it can also be unlearned, offering a path to raising more resilient kids.
