Narrated by:
Are you a parent who worries a lot? If so, you are not alone. Relentless worry is currently the norm. While concern about important issues is certainly beneficial, worrying about them is not. But, worrying can be a hard habit to break, even though it often causes added stress and anxiety in the home.
In Base Camp Parenting: Worry Less to Help Your Kids More, Susan Bauerfeld and Chris Parrott give parents the tools necessary to shift away from worrying. They discuss the adverse impact of parental worrying on “Base Camp”--the environment in which children are raised--and show how shifting attention away from worried thinking is crucial to overall health and well-being. In addition, they provide parents with an easy-to-implement four-step process that leaves families calmer, more connected, and better prepared to handle situations as they arise. By following this process, parents model how best to cope with the stress and anxiety of everyday life, leading their children to become more resilient, capable, and healthy.
In a culture where worry is often worn like a badge of honor, Base Camp Parenting is a rallying cry for change, delivering a clear, compassionate roadmap for breaking the worry cycle and building a happier, healthier home.©2026 Susan Bauerfeld (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
Base Camp Parenting is the book every worried parent needs. If your brain is constantly spinning out worst-case scenarios, Susan Bauerfeld and Chris Parrott will show you how to stop the panic spiral, break the habit of over-managing, and bring some calm back into your home. When you learn to step back, trust yourself, and trust your kids, everything starts to shift. You feel more grounded, and your kids grow into the kind of humans who can actually handle life. (Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory, host of The Mel Robbins Podcast)
Worry fuels so much of today’s achievement culture, and Base Camp Parenting offers a true antidote. I met Susan while researching Never Enough, when she and Chris were crafting this thoughtful guide to easing the worry behind a scarcity mindset. If you loved Susan’s puppy-dog greeting, you’ll find that same warmth and practical wisdom throughout. Their simple strategies calm the home and strengthen your sense of mattering—and your kids’. Everyone worries, and everyone can benefit from this wonderful book. (Jennifer Breheny Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Never Enough)
Worrying disguises itself as productive and necessary. It is not! Base Camp Parenting: Worry Less to Help Your Kids More by Susan Bauerfeld and Chris Parrott offers solid and direct advice on how to break out of this cycle and find more joy and connection in parenting.
