Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is an evidence-based, parent-led program proven to reduce childhood anxiety as effectively as traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy. As one of Hong Kong’s first psychologists trained in SPACE, I help families address issues like school refusal, anxiety, and OCD, even when teens wont attend sessions themselves.
"We might consider our role as parents not to be to reduce the pain our children must live through, but to help them learn how to suffer less."
Eli Lebowitz, PH.D.
Assosciate Prof. Child Study Center, Yale University
