Parenting in the age of anxiety: whose anxiety is it anyway?

It’s ours.

I think parents now have so much more pressure on them to get it "right" then when I was raising my children.

@Morrigan the thing is, we are only ever supposed to be ‘good enough’
Morrigan · F
@MayaHope we really can only do our best, that is all that should be expected. I did my best, i wasnt perfect but i have still managed to raise good adults who participate in society in postive ways.

The news and social media are trying to make everyone nervous, because nervous people are more likely to spend money impulsively and click on clickbait, making the 1% even richer and the 99% even poorer.

Parents in my opinion. To much helicopter parenting. I’m guilty.

@RuyLopez I was under-parented, so I over-parent , or over-compassion… or over whatever… then feel intense guilt / shame about over and under performing. But you know what, they know I got their back. Is that so bad? No one ever had mine … I love my boys to infinity and back
