[quote=Anonymous]I had my kids parent-teacher conferences this week. I was told that both of them are always rushing and can’t settle down. Both teachers asked if I might know why they operate that way. And then it dawned on me that I am always rushing them to get ready in the am, rush8mg for them to eat breakfast, telling them to hurry up as soon as after school teachers tell them I’ve arrived (because we are rushing to get to an evening activity). Same goes for the weekends. Sometimes I find myself rushing them to move even though we are not on a schedule! I would say I have some anxiety: I am worried about being late to work even though there is a 30-minute flex of employees’ start times. I worry about getting to practices, games early enough so we can find parking (!) and/or they have appropriate time to warm up/get ready. I worry about flying. I worry about anything and everything happening to my kids. ...... all in a vacuum don’t seem out of the ordinary. I have a checklist on my phone of everyday tasks because I’m worried I’ll forget something. I have mild social anxiety....but nothing like when I was younger. Could all this anxiety and worry be shaping my kids into anxious, rush through life little people? Or is this just the life of a family with two working parents (One of which that is only around 30 minutes during bedtime), no local family support, no real extra funds to throw at outsourcing? any advice would be great.
