[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a difference between raising independent children and non anxious children. A lot of the suggestions of having kids do a lot of things any themselves early on will give you independent kids. But will they be less anxious? I think that is unclear. I am worried some parenting techniques of pushing kids to do things and hard line punishment just make these kids not close to their families. I grew up in an immigrant community where no kid has much freedom to do anything and honestly we all turned out fine. The autonomy came during middle of high school maybe. I really think the modern anxiety has much more to do with tech,social media, negative media, immersive video games than parenting techniques. Having the world at your (iPhone) fingertips can be extremely... debilitating and anxiety inducing. [/quote]
