[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine is a child psychiatrist and she recently told me that one of the main issues she works with kids on is anxiety that has developed because parents indulged / accommodated their kids' early fears (e.g., kept them home when they were nervous about school -- e.g., they had an embarrassing incident in class and didn't want to go back for a few days). This same type of incident occurred with her kid and she acknowledged how hard it was to talk him through it and encourage him to return to school rather than let him stay home. She thinks that part of the reasoning of this phenomenon is that so many parents have anxiety themselves and pass along their behaviors / lack of coping mechanisms. [/quote]

Not surprising considering the government kept schools closed because a kid could kill his classmate’s grandma with a single sneeze.

Operating from a place of anxiety and fear was promoted as the decent, moral position for many months. However many people had issues prior to 2020, many more have them now.[/quote]
