Hi Parents!

One of the challenges of parenting an anxious teen is knowing when to step in and when to step back. As parents, your instinct is to protect your children from disappointment, failure, and discomfort. But what if constantly rescuing them is actually preventing them from building the confidence and resilience they'll need later in life?

Today I'm joined by certified parenting and life coach Randi Crawford. Randi helps parents raise confident, independent young adults by shifting away from rescuing and toward coaching. Her work empowers parents with practical tools to support their children while still allowing them to develop the problem-solving skills, confidence, and resilience that adulthood requires.

Together, we explore why failure isn't something parents should fear, but something that helps teens grow. We discuss the difference between supporting and rescuing, why stepping in too quickly can unintentionally reinforce anxiety, and how parents can create opportunities for their teens to learn from challenges instead of avoiding them.

For more information about Randi Crawford and her coaching programs for parents, be sure to connect with her and explore her resources online.

NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent’s Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you’re raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Big hugs,

Monica Crnogorac
