Therapy To Help Your Child Manage Anxiety

Are you a parent of an anxious child? Have you modified activities, your routine or family routines because of your child’s anxiety? Is your child anxious about school, anxious about death, anxious about sleep, anxious about EVERYTHING?

SPACE might be right for you.

SPACE (SUPPORTIVE PARENTING OF ANXIOUS CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS)

SPACE is a treatment program developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz from the Yale Child Study Center.

SPACE helps parents focus on what YOU have control over when it comes to your child’s anxiety. When parents focus on shifting parental responses it has been shown to be very effective in reducing your child’s anxiety.

Your child can learn to cope with their anxiety and your family get back to a normal routine with help from Child Therapy Solutions, PLLC offering Parenting support for your anxious child in North Carolina.

  • -Anxiety about school

    -Anxiety about death

    -Anxiety at bedtime

    -Anxiety about being away from parents

  • In SPACE parenting therapy, parents learn changes that they can make to their own behavior when responding to their child’s anxiety symptoms.

    Parents learn how to respond more supportively to their anxious child and reduce the accommodations they have been making to the child symptoms.

  • Anxiety is the system all people have to alert them to danger, help them to avoid it, and when necessary, take steps to escape from it. Anxiety is a necessary emotion. 

    Anxiety disorders exist when a child experiences exaggerated anxiety relating to things or situations that do not actually pose real danger. For some children, the anxiety system is triggered internally by worry, obsessive thoughts, or panic attacks, even when there are no external triggers for it. The anxiety may impact the child's body, thoughts, and feelings.  To children this anxiety feels very very real.
