Parenting an anxious child means facing constant challenges and questions: When should parents help children avoid anxiety-provoking situations, and when should they encourage them to face their fears? How can parents foster independence while still supporting their children? How can parents reduce the hold their child's anxiety has taken over the entire family?

Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Parents will learn how to alleviate their children's anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children's symptoms - importantly, parents are not required to impose changes on their children's behavior. Instead, parents are shown how to replace their own accommodating behaviors (which allow anxiety to flourish) with supportive responses that demonstrate both acceptance of children's difficulties and confidence in their ability to cope. From understanding child anxiety and OCD, to learning how to talk with an anxious child, to avoiding common traps and pitfalls (such as being overly protective or demanding), to identifying the ways in which parents have been enabling a child's anxious behaviors, this book is full of detailed guidance and practical suggestions.

Great introduction to anxiety and why it traps our kids. I heard Eli present at a conference and he is knowledgeable, personable, and accessible I’m his writing. This book focuses on helping us connect with what our kids are going through while also doing our work to reduce accommodation and encourage our kids.

Timely book that I’ve shared multiple times even before finishing

Easy to understand and helpful! This book has already changed our lives and I haven’t even started the accommodations mapping and reduction. Just the understanding of anxiety alone has been world changing. With grace, we’re moving forward to build confidence and show support for our child. Thank you!

It you want to know how to empower your child/teen to live their life to the fullest in the face of anxiety, this is the book! I am a Behavior Specialist. I use this book as a resource for my clients. They are relieved when they see their kids being less dependent on them and more successful at getting through difficult bouts of anxiety. I highly recommend you start at chapter 9 and go to the end. If you need additional understanding of the effects of anxiety go back and read the rest of the chapters.

A Book that Tells You How!!!
