Sage Family


Jan 17, 2023

“It’s a great thing to always have someone to rescue you, but to always need to be rescued is such a vulnerable way to live, such a limiting way to live. You don’t want your child to feel like they always need to be rescued.”

Dr. Eli Lebowitz joins me in today’s episode about childhood anxiety. He studies and treats childhood anxiety at the Yale Child Study Center and through his SPACE program and Breaking Free of Childhood Anxiety and OCD book.

We discuss why accommodations can be problematic, what true support looks like, where to start, making a plan, telling your child, responding to aggression, and navigating when co-parents disagree.
