    The other day I was interviewed by Maggie Rodriguez, host of the show Daytime, who confessed to parental anxiety — and so did I. I added that the only thing that I’ve seen that takes the fear down a notch or ten is seeing your kid do something on their own.

    You need to change your behavior before you can change your mindset, even though that is obviously hard (because your mindset has yet to change!).

    Below is our 4-minute chat. Afterward, Maggie wanted to continue the conversation, so she interviewed me for Tampa Parenting. Here’s our Q and A in that magazine!
