Hi List,

  I recommend folks check out this blog on “fear based parenting”: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-learn/201903/the-many-shades-fear-based-parenting

 

  The harm avoidant culture is crucial to understanding the recent spike in anxiety in our youth. This is one productive way to think about it.

Best,
Gregg
