It can be helpful not to minimize, dismiss, or ignore the parent’s expressed concerns. You do not have to agree with the parent’s assessment of the concerns, buy into the possible dire consequences, or try to fix anything. (It’s interesting that self-absorbed people do not seem to be able to perceive favorable outcomes, as doing so would relieve some of their felt distress, be encouraging and empowering, or bring less attention to them.) On the other hand, you don’t want to encourage the parent to recount more about these concerns when they do not merit that much attention. There also may be some validity to the concerns, which you would not want to ignore. But if the expressed concerns are exaggerations, a bid for attention or admiration, or an attempt to keep you in line, it is still best to avoid saying anything that the parent could perceive as minimizing these concerns.
