This Might Sound Familiar...

You wake up already tense, wondering how anxious your child will be today. Will they refuse to go to school? Will they cry over something small? Will you need to step in again just to keep the peace?


And even though you'd do anything for them... ...it's starting to feel like your whole family is walking on eggshells.

  • Let them skip hard things to avoid meltdowns
  • Sit beside them during bedtime, school, or playdates just so they won't panic
  • Keep the world "safe"—even if it's exhausting

You're not alone. And you're not doing anything wrong.

The truth is, most anxious kids aren't just "too sensitive" or "spoiled." They're overwhelmed by fear—and you have become their anchor.
But here's something no one tells parents early enough:


Some of the most common "helping" behaviors actually teach the brain that anxiety = danger.

And when the brain believes there's danger, it only gets louder.

The good news? You can reverse this pattern without becoming harsh, distant, or unsupportive.

This guide is based on the SPACE approach (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), developed by psychologists at Yale University and proven effective through research and real-world results.

I've used these strategies not only with lots of families in my practice—but also in my own home. They work.

 

You're already doing your best. Let me show you how to do less fixing... and more supporting.
