On this episode Dr. Dan and Dr. Dana Dorfman (parenting expert and author) discuss worry and anxiety as well as her new book WHEN WORRY WORKS: How To Harness Your Parenting Stress And Guide Your Teen To Success. This episode focuses on the growing national teen mental health crisis: achievement pressure. Dr. Dan and Dr. Dorfman also address how parents inadvertently and unknowingly exacerbate worry and anxiety by overlooking their own parental achievement anxiety and offer solutions and advice.

For over 30 years, Dr. Dana Dorfman has studied achievement anxiety in parents and their kids, both academically and in her practice. For more information visit her website www.drdanadorfman.com.
