I think the "relax" comments are more about not catastrophizing. Control what you have control over. Raise your child to be kind, empathetic and strong in their own convictions. My kid is in 1st grade. I think ahead to issues that can crop up in 1st grade and think ahead to 2nd grade. Thinking ahead 10 years is catastrophizing.
No, NP here. “Relax” and “unclench” are patronizing and so boring. You think anyone ever reads “relax” and thinks, “Oh, wow, I never thought of that! Great - my worries are gone!”
Take your anxiety medication and call your therapist! Better?
I am bored by comments like this, too.

It's fifth grade through eighth grade that you need to worry about instead. Be present with them, listen to them more than you talk to them. -- HS mom
Totally agree. DD went to GDS, middle school was dominated by mean girl culture but once up at the high school it no longer held sway, the queen bee was gone and everyone did their thing.

Posts like this are so tiresome. I am so sick of this phony superiority in dismal.
You are part of the problem in high schools, PP. I can’t imagine you can openly listen to a student when you can’t even manage to skip posting your pathetic judgement on an anonymous forum.
She's borrowing trouble that's 10 years away. I listen all the time to my students' problems because a) they're kids and b) the problems are actually happening. This is a whiny preschool mom with so little to occupy her she's making up an awful HS experience her kid might never even have. It's tiresome and annoying.
That is a lot of assumption and projecting on your part, PP. considering what we can do to raise healthy, happy teenagers as well as healthy happy adults I’d a sound concern.
No shit, Sherlock. I never said don't raise your kid to be happy and healthy. I said ENJOY HER BEING 4. Watching Netflix and then melting down about teen suicide is nuts. Go for a walk and play with your sweet 4 year old, that is part of how you raise your kids to feel safe and happy and secure.

This anxiety will not help your child. You will transfer your fears onto her. I know I lived with a mother likes you. For yourself and your child please consider seeing a therapist.
