[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet 90% of a kid's problems stems from home.

parents too scared to discipline
too tired to talk
too selfish to sacrifice their time

shitty parenting

Now, on the flip side, the therapists with whom we deal in our job have been wackadoo quacks enabling poor parenting.

Actually, the greatest factor is genetics. [/quote]

NP here, here. And a mom with an anxiety disorder raising a 12 year old DD with-- you guess it-- an anxiety disorder.

Strong marriage, stable family, safe and stable environment. DH and I knew she was starting from a genetic disadvantage in this area, and have worked hard to give her a safe, secure childhood and to make thoughtful parenting choices. She is a lovely person.  We have not been perfect. But we have not been careless or negligent. And you might disagree with some of our parenting choices (attachment parenting?  When to start a musical instrument? screen time limits?). But we made a good faith effort.

So: lousy genetics: check and lousy parenting: also check. I will accept 100% of the blame for DD's anxiety issues (okay, 85%. DH get some% of parenting blame too).  I hope that DCUM feels the weight of its moral superiority.

But since we now find ourself in this situation, the question remains-- how to best help and support DD?  And we've already tried Nana and Kale chips...[/quote]
