“Think of tolerating your child’s distress as a lesson you are teaching your child. It is as though you are saying, “This makes me very uncomfortable, but I am able to cope with it because I know I have to”—which is precisely what you want your child to be able to say about her own anxiety: It makes me uncomfortable but I can tolerate it because I know I have to.”
