B1IntermediateSeptember 15, 202615 min

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore the difference between compassionately supporting an anxious child and unintentionally teaching them to avoid difficult things. They discuss family accommodation, resilience, knowing when to challenge a child, and how parents can help kids discover that discomfort is survivable. Parents will be encouraged to know their individual children and help them grow in confidence by facing appropriate challenges while grounding their security in God.
