A psychology study has found that children with more severe social anxiety often have parents who repeatedly offer reassurance. According to coverage of the findings, this well-intentioned habit may reinforce anxious feelings rather than ease them, and researchers suggest parents of anxious children could benefit from learning alternative ways to respond to their child's worries.
Why now: The findings resonate with parents and mental health professionals concerned about childhood anxiety.
