Parents today are under enormous pressure to protect their children from discomfort, but what if constantly “fixing” anxiety is actually making it worse? In this live conversation, Dr. Nguyen talks with clinical child psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins on how avoidance fuels anxiety, what keeps families stuck, and how parents can help kids build resilience by facing hard feelings instead of escaping them.
