Wie Eltern ihre jugendlichen Kinder behandeln, kann dazu beitragen, ihre sozialen Angst zu erleichtern oder zu verschlimmern. Beide Eltern können dazu beitragen, soziale Angstzustände zu verringern, indem sie Zuneigung, Wärme und Akzeptanz gegenüber ihrem Teenager ausdrücken. Aber sie können es auch schlechter machen, indem sie ihre Kinder beschämen, Schuldgefühle und übermäßig kontrollieren.

      From the linked article:

      It’s common for adolescents to feel nervous or shy around others. But **how their parents treat them may help ease or worsen their social anxiety**, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.

      The researchers found that both mothers and fathers influence their children’s social confidence in important but different ways.

      **Either parent can help reduce social anxiety by expressing affection, warmth and acceptance toward their teen, the researchers found. But they can also make it worse by shaming, guilt-tripping and overly controlling their kids**.
