When children are anxious and relying on parents, are they not subconsciously angry at the parent? They can’t show their anger, because they rely on the parent, so they project it onto their environment, which now becomes a “dangerous” place.

In general, I would not say that the anxious child is angry at the parent. Their strong emotion is most likely tied to a feeling of being out of control due to fear, stress, overwhelm, confusion, frustration, or feeling powerless. The resulting reactive behavior may be directed at the safest person - usually the parent, or the safest environment - usually the home. If the parent says the child can't do something they want to do, and the child gets angry at the parent but projects it onto the environment, the child is actually exercising some control in that they struck out at a thing versus a person. That's a starting point. Check out Dr. Lebowitz's book Breaking Free of Childhood Anxiety and OCD for practical guidance for parents. Also check out Change-able by Dr. Stuart Ablon as well as his LD Expert interview (stowellcenter.com/2021/12/03/everyone-wins-common-sense-approach-to-behavior-change-stuart-ablon/) for compassionate tools for dealing with challenging behaviors.

@@LDExpert I should’ve clarified, I was referring to separation anxiety. What are your thoughts about that?

@LDExpert 2 года назад

@@couldbe8348 Separation anxiety is a little outside my wheelhouse, but it still goes back to a feeling of powerlessness - of something happening to them that feels out of their control or that they feel fearful of (being separated from parent or abandoned) and I think that is the important factor to understand when approaching the issue.

Is there anything that your child is afraid of - either realistic or unrealistic - that you have had to deal with as a parent?
