[quote=Anonymous]OP, what are you making the 3.6 mean? Are you projecting it forward to a whole series of cascading consequences that will build over time? That’s a pretty common thing for parents to do — take a single data point and amplify it into something that has meaning and import over a lifetime, a psychological process that is typically infused with fear. It doesn’t actually mean any of those things. The good news is that when this sort of catastrophizing happens, it’s an opportunity to look directly at our own fears and anxieties, to see squarely their size and weight, and also the way they impact our relationships. If you take the opportunity, and then discuss those fears openly and without judgement, you’ll provide a great example for your kid, and likely deepen your relationship in the process. Good luck.
