Are we helping our kids or just managing our own anxiety?

Kristina explores the difference between healthy helping and anxiety-driven helping, the kind of over-involvement that soothes our worries but can accidentally rob our kids of opportunities to problem-solve, build confidence, and learn that they can handle hard things. How do we know when to step in and when to step back, when to resist the urge to rescue our kids from every disappointment, rejection, frustration, or sadness, and learn to tolerate our own anxiety long enough to let them experience discomfort and learn how to process their emotions?
