My thing was my son had general anxiety 24/7 and specific triggers (approaching phobias but not quite). He experienced panic attacks....living with him was hard as heck. So, yes, you might say for a certain period of time we coddled him. But no one can live in the fight or flight level for that amount of time. So you modify the environment, get therapy, homeschool in his case, and yes coddle a bit. But then you can work on the things that make him uncomfortable. Would I do the same thing again? yes!
