Dr Paul Bogacs shared some advice for parents on how to keep your kids out of therapy. On of the things he suggested was parents need to expose their children to risks and natural consequences. He shared that the rate of child abuse was actually worse in the 60-70’s than it is today. Children are safer now, but parents trying to protect them from every little source of harm, actually makes the children have anxiety. So the act of trying to protect them from everything that could cause harm, stresses the children and does far more harm than what we are trying to protect them from. <His email is on the Avondale University website, you can follow this up with him if you wish 🙂 >
