**TO BE FULLY BOOKED ONTO THIS EVENT, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE LINK TO THE RIGHT: ONLINE EVENT AND REGISTER WITH US VIA OUR WEBSITE** Anxiety can affect children in many different ways, and when it takes hold, it can have a significant negative impact on your child’s mental health and behaviour. **1 in 4 parents report that their child struggles with anxiety** (Ipsos UK research on behalf of The National Lottery Community Fund, 2025). Meanwhile, the Children’s Commissioner “Children’s Mental Health Report” (published May 2025) shows that **anxiety is the most common reason for referral** to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). While clinical treatment is valuable, it’s not the only effective approach. There is another approach that empowers them – and you – to overcome their anxiety. Without needing to attend therapy. Join me for this free webinar where I’ll introduce you to SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). SPACE is an evidence-based approach developed at Yale University by child psychologist Dr. Eli Lebowitz to specifically help parents support their children. In this webinar, you’ll discover: **The accommodation trap** Why reassuring, avoiding triggers, and adjusting routines can accidentally reinforce your child’s anxiety (and what to do instead). **The SPACE approach** How small changes in your responses can help your child build confidence and manage their own anxiety. **Practical strategies you can use immediately** Simple tools to respond differently in the moment, without needing your child to attend therapy. **Real-life examples** How other parents have used SPACE to reduce anxious behaviours and restore calm at home. Who this webinar is for This webinar is for parents whose children experience: * Separation anxiety and difficulty being apart from parents * Social anxiety and avoiding everyday situations * Specific fears and phobias (dogs, spiders, darkness, storms) * Obsessive worries and repetitive checking behaviours * Bedtime difficulties and sleep struggles * Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes * School-related anxiety You don’t need a formal diagnosis. If anxiety is affecting your child’s daily life, this webinar is for you.
