Is Overprotection Fueling Childhood Anxiety?
Update: 2025-07-01
Description
In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores why rates of anxiety and mental illness are rising among children and teens. Drawing insights from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, she uncovers how overprotection in the real world is pushing kids into "defend mode"—a posture of fear rather than healthy discovery. Elizabeth compares these findings to the biblical worldview, revealing that when we remove all risk, we hinder our children from fulfilling their God-given calling to exercise dominion over creation. Tune in to learn how to shift your parenting from overprotecting to equipping.
