When Your Child is Afraid to Choose (and You Are Too)
What do you do when your child won’t make a decision—even something simple?
Choosing between two snacks triggers a meltdown. Picking an outfit becomes a battleground. Asking them to choose anything leads to stress, freezing, or panic. Sound familiar?
In this solo episode, Albiona unpacks this common—but often misunderstood—challenge: fear of getting it wrong. Whether it’s showing up in your child’s decision making or your own, this episode helps you reframe what’s happening, and how to move forward with more regulation, curiosity, and steadiness.
