In this episode, Jack Schott and Lynn Lyons explore the complexities of anxiety in children and the crucial role parents play in managing it. They discuss how parents can balance support with fostering independence, the importance of letting kids experience discomfort, and the need for clear communication about skills developed through experiences like summer camp.
Lynn highlights the value of critical thinking and emotional intelligence, the challenges of navigating mental health messaging, and the importance of fostering a growth mindset. They also emphasize the need for meaningful conversations between parents and camp directors to address concerns and encourage children's development.
