Need SPACE After the Holidays?
Family holiday gatherings amidst COVID have been particularly tricky with all the additional anxiety.
As a parent, you may worry about your child’s health more during the holidays. Or, it may be your child who is more worried about having people over this holiday season.
You may find yourself wondering: how do you manage your child’s anxieties without reinforcing their worried state?
Does this scene sound familiar?
Tyler has gotten really worried about germs since COVID began. He washes his hands so many times throughout the day, but lately it’s gotten WORSE. Tyler is worried that you and dad are covered in germs. He asks you to wash your hands before you hug him, before you make his lunch, even before you change his sheets!
Your hands are so tired from the over washing. And, now it’s winter! It feels like there’s not enough lotion in the world to fix this level of cracking and dryness.
Now it’s the holidays and the in-laws are coming to stay with you for a week! How is Tyler going to manage this? There is just no way you’re going to be able to convince your mother in law to wash her hands each time she goes to touch Tyler’s things, and there is going to be a melt down!
How long can you keep going on like this?
We are excited to offer parents just like you a new way to help your child with their anxiety by offering you SPACE techniques and supportive therapy tools.
SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions. The best part - your child doesn’t need to be present for this to work!
These sessions with our SPACE trained therapists allow parents to develop new ways of managing anxiety and then try it out at home! Each week you will meet with your therapist to go over your successes and challenges.
There IS a better way for you and your child in 2022!
Our therapists are now booking Supportive Parenting Sessions starting in January! Your family can learn new ways of helping your anxious child and the best part is you don’t need to pull them out of school for appointments or add another activity to their schedule! Appointments can be scheduled in the comfort of your own home, or in our sanitized and comfortably socially distanced office.
