Sunny has the idea by making an analogy from teaching to parenting. I would cite two challenges. One concern is that it assumes that the parents can teach, but the reality is that anyone can become a parent. The other obstacle is that the child has to be blessed and not have a learning challenge like anxiety.
It’s easier to empower ourselves if we don’t suffer from anxiety or another mental disorder. The average person can approach life as a student from birth, given the opportunities, and become a leader of the free world, if she wishes. It’s so inspiring when successful people come forward and volunteer their struggles so I can persevere during a difficult day!
Given the condtions we members on this site grapple with, we need support and close coaching to master the tangible skills of learning to navigate danger and anxiety. Edrita Fried describes the measureable skill as “...a triad of techniques for dealing with danger: (1) danger- spotting, (2) danger diagnosis, (3) danger fighting...” in her book “Active Passive”.
