Does anxiety or OCD feel like another member of your family?

When you have a child with anxiety, the whole family is impacted. What started off as a little worry has grown into your child’s excessive need for reassurance, avoidance of activities, or demands to help them with rituals.

You probably find yourself telling your child “everything will be fine”, or maybe you encourage them to use relaxation skills, or say things like “you’re safe”, and even change your family activities or plans to make your child feel more comfortable. But it doesn’t seem to be making a difference.

Comforting your child’s fears is a natural response. However, this approach is actually strengthening children’s anxiety. In this 3-part workshop, you are going to learn about an alternative way to address your child’s anxiety. This workshop will provide with you concrete, actionable steps you can take to help your child.

Recent studies show that when parents change their response, the improvement in their child’s anxiety symptoms were as effective as 12 sessions of CBT*
