When raising an anxious child, parents face a number of questions: 'When should we help them avoid situations that trigger anxiety, and when should we encourage them to face their fears? How can we strengthen children's independence while also supporting them? How can we reduce the impact of a child's anxiety on the whole family?'
The book presents a parent-oriented program for treating childhood and adolescent anxiety and the 'Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions' (SPACE) program. Readers will learn how to alleviate anxiety symptoms in children by changing their response to their actions, and will learn to replace adaptation patterns with supportive reactions, acceptance of the child's difficulties, and confidence in their ability to cope with them. The book describes anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, provides strategies for avoiding negative cycles, and identifies ways in which parents reinforce anxious behavior. The book is full of recommendations and advice to help implement the proposed ideas, making it a valuable resource for parents wanting to help their anxious child.
This guide describes practical, theory-based, and data-driven strategies for helping children and adolescents overcome anxiety, even if they resist therapy. This unique book contains specific advice for both therapeutic and home environments.
The book presents a comprehensive approach to treating anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, both in one-on-one therapy with a therapist and within the family. It describes new strategies to help mental health professionals and families change their response to situations and the child's subsequent behavior.

It provides an 'inside look' at the intricacies of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) - a method chosen by leading researchers and experts - for healing anxiety disorders in children and adolescents.
