Anxious parents. Anxious families. Anxiety is contagious. How do I know if I’m an anxious parent? And if I am one, how is that affecting my kids? What can I do about it—for their sake and for mine? Therapist and author Sissy Goff, LPC-MHSP, joins Amy Julia Becker on the podcast to talk about:

• How to identify and stop anxiety loops
• Why failure is good for parents and kids
• Common parenting strategies that DON’T work
• Practical tools for changing thought and behavior patterns
