You can give your kid every label, every PlayStation... and still hand them anxiety by 11.

Krissy goes off on the thing she sees every day. The toddler screaming on the supermarket floor while the parent caves. The Gucci shoes on Mufti day. The kids handed a tap-and-go card who then have zero drive.

Here is the real secret to a happier, more secure child, and it is not toys. It is boundaries, consistency, and the one thing she did even when stretched to the max... 10 minutes of proper time with each kid, every night.

What you'll get:

• Why overindulgence breeds anxiety, not happiness

• The 10-minute-a-night habit that actually works

• How a bit of struggle builds resilience

• Why consistency is the kindest thing you can do
