When should I push my anxious child—and when is it too much?
In this episode, I share a personal story about my grandson learning to swim and the powerful lesson it taught me about supporting anxious kids through discomfort without sending them into panic.
If you're a parent wondering:
“Am I pushing too hard?”
“Should I back off?”
“How do I help my child grow without overwhelming them?”
…this episode is for you.
💡 You'll learn:
The difference between the comfort zone, growth zone, and panic zone
How to recognize your child's limits—and when to gently stretch them
Why anxiety needs baby steps, not big leaps
Practical tools for building your child’s confidence
🎯 BONUS: I’m hosting a live parent workshop this Thursday (July 24 at noon CST) where I’ll go even deeper into anxiety—what causes it, how it shows up, and how to support your child with calm, confidence, and clarity.
