[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid isn’t scared but still wants a bedtime routine with me at age 14. She wants me to help her pick out her outfit and then read to her while she “does her skincare routine.” At her age, this goes on until 9:30-10. So, you never know. :-) That said, this really sounds like you are enabling anxiety. And that isn’t the preferred strategy at this point for anxiety in kids. Maybe do some reading about SPACE and other anxiety approaches to decide what you want to do.[/quote] I mean I don't disagree but don't you think picking outfits and reading to a kid while they do their skincare routine at 14 is just as enabling, or more?[/quote] As long as she doesn’t overreact when you can’t do it for some reason, this sounds like a lovely bonding time.[/quote]
