How to Stop Walking on Eggshells with Your Anxious Tween or Teen

In this episode, I'm diving into something SO many parents tell me about - that feeling of walking on eggshells around their anxious tween or teen. That sense that you're literally tiptoeing through your own house, scared that saying or doing the wrong thing might trigger a reaction that sends your whole family's day into a spiral. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone! 😰

✨ Breaking Free from Walking on Eggshells (Without Losing Your Zen!)

I'll share with you:

• The real reason we fall into this tricky pattern (and yes, I've been there too!)
• Why tiptoeing around anxiety actually makes it grow stronger (I'll tell you about a family who learned this with game night)
• How to set "loving limits" that help everyone in the family
• A practical action step you can take this week
• Ways to support siblings who are caught in this dynamic too

And don't worry - I'm sharing plenty of real-life examples to help you stop walking on eggshells with your anxious tween or teen.

💪 Encouragement for Parents: Here's something I really want you to remember: your child's big reactions? That's anxiety speaking, not their true self. Allowing your child to work through challenging situations will help them learn to manage their anxiety in the long run. You've got this!
