Antidote for the anxiety epidemic in our kids

[JanAtheCPA]

Based on my personal observation that anxiety exacerbates TMS, I think this article from my weekly "best of NPR" email should be of interest if not importance to all of us here:

Jan, thank you for the article. I'm seeing this happen in our family on both sides of the debate, and I think this article and way of thought is proving to be true. I hope we see more families relaxing the pressure from outside, because little kids internalize the pressure; sadly, the proof is all over the wiki.
Thanks,
Lizzy

Thank you for sharing. As parents, we sometimes think that our children are not intelligent enough to know pressure. But sad to say... they can experience it at a very young age
