Why Parents?
Young children are born with an instinct to seek comfort and safety from their parents as a means of survival, just as parents have a natural inclination to protect their young. Given the nature of the relationship between parent and child, when a child is anxious, a parentās most natural recourse is to try to alleviate the childās anxiety. Over time, many children internalize their parentsā encouragement and support. As a result, they learn to self-soothe and to help themselves in moments of anxiety/discomfort as they get older. However, there are children that become overly dependent on parental reassurance and accommodation without developing a sense of self-efficacy, and not learning that anxiety, while at times very uncomfortable, can be managed. The goal of the SPACE program is, therefore, to increase childrenās ability to cope with anxiety, and this is accomplished by modifying parentsā involvement in this dynamic. As parents reduce accommodations while providing support, children are able to grow stronger and more confident in their ability to manage their feelings.
