Supporting Parents with Anxious Children - A Book Study

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!


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? Left untreated, anxiety disorders can make it hard for students to get schoolwork done or study. It may affect their relationships with peers and teachers, too. In some cases, students with anxiety disorders miss a lot of school days. Or they may avoid school altogether.

The SISP team at Cox Mill Elementary will share how they developed and implemented a parent book study to support student wellness goals and address the area of emotional regulation. Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD by Eli R. Lebowitz, PhD. is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Through this book study, parents learned how to alleviate their children’s anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children’s symptoms.
