Anxiety or Oppositional Defiant Disorder?
Is it anxiety or oppositional behavior that’s driving your child’s reactions? Many parents find it challenging to tell the difference, especially when similar behaviors—like avoiding tasks, pushing back against rules, or having emotional outbursts—show up in both. While anxiety is often driven by worry or fear, oppositional behaviors come from a need for control or a reaction to limits being set. Understanding this distinction can make a big difference in how you respond and support your child.
Building Confidence in Anxious Children
Children with anxiety often avoid trying new things because they’re afraid of failure or embarrassment, which can limit their growth and self-confidence. As a parent, it can be tough to watch them struggle with these fears, but by offering support and encouragement, you can help them take small steps outside their comfort zone. In this post, we’ll explore why children avoid new experiences and provide practical tips for helping your child build confidence and overcome anxiety.
