[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you did a great thing by supporting your DD's interest in seeing a therapist to discuss anxiety and whether she has it. How amazing is she for wanting to take some agency over her own health, and for seeking out information from a good source! As for her notion that your family would waive expectations, though, I'd tell her nice try. As the parent of a kid with a longstanding anxiety disorder, I have to tell you that is the farthest thing from what you would actually do to deal with anxiety. Provide scaffolding and support, sure; give choices to enable a sense of responsibility and agency, absolutely; but eliminate reasonable expectations--no way.[/quote]
