Ok that makes sense! I have more than one challenging child and one most definitely tends towards anxiety. I have been there with a “whatever works right now mentality”. So in other words what works temporarily for anxiety is actually what makes it worse in the long run and that is the difference. Might be extremely relative advice for me in the near future!
