How can parents foster independence while still supporting their children? How can parents reduce the hold their child's anxiety has taken over the entire family? Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Parents will learn how to alleviate their children's anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children's symptoms--importantly, parents are not required to impose changes on their children's behavior. Instead, parents are shown how to replace their own accommodating behaviors (which allow anxiety to flourish) with supportive responses that demonstrate both acceptance of children's difficulties and confidence in their ability to cope. From understanding child anxiety and OCD, to learning how to talk with an anxious child, to avoiding common traps and pitfalls (such as being overly protective or demanding) to identifying the ways in which parents have been enabling a child's anxious behaviors, this book is full of detailed guidance and practical suggestions. Worksheets are included to help parents translate the book's suggestions into action, and the book's compassionate and personable tone will make it a welcoming resource for any concerned parent. Review: Highly Recommended! - Eli Lebowitz’s Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD is an outstanding, accessible guide for parents and caregivers. The book explains the SPACE approach in a clear, practical way, helping readers understand how family accommodation maintains anxiety and how small, supportive changes can promote resilience and independence. I appreciated how readable and compassionate the tone is while still being grounded in evidence-based principles. The step-by-step guidance, scripts, and real-life examples make the concepts feel immediately usable. This is a valuable resource for families navigating child anxiety or OCD and a helpful companion to treatment. Review: Easy to implement right away. Also well written! - I listened to the Audiobook and then bought the Kindle version. I may also purchase the hard copy to take notes and use the guides. This book was easy to get into and not overly repetitive. Also, the voiceover for the audible version was a great reader! ---> I decided to try this book because it centers around the influence parents can have, with or without therapy. I was drawn to the premise of this book, especially since my anxious child (commonly) is too anxious to go to a therapist and unwilling to "work" through problems. As for the meat of the book, I found it to be a great blend of supportive, compassionate parenting, with applicable techniques that are firm, consistent and progress oriented. I love parenting books that give you almost a "play-book" for what to do and say, and this book does that. I am just beginning to use the principles, but I sense that the technique is helping me form consistent "sound-bites" which are already causing my kids to take notice and think a little more before launching into full blown panic mode. Reading this book in full was very eye-opening as I didn't realize how much my accommodating could be hurting, rather than helping, my child. There are many different methods out there for working with anxious, challenging children and sometimes you have to find the one that clicks with your ideals and capabilities. I suggest everyone give this book a try as it could be a great fit, and it's definitely more simple and less expensive than other techniques. ----> To note, we are coupling this book with a complete halt in all screen time for our kids and have witnessed amazing turn arounds in just the support phase with these two changes. Thank you Dr. Lebowitz for teaching and writing about an accessible, proven plan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,156 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Psychopathology #3 in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder #6 in Anxieties & Phobias | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 911 Reviews | ## Images ![Breaking Free of Child Anxiety & OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61y0dsaICTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! *by C***N on February 9, 2026* Eli Lebowitz’s Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD is an outstanding, accessible guide for parents and caregivers.

I wish I had these tools when my children were younger however as a mom of 5 young adult children (college students) these tools have increased my children’s self confidence and independence! I no longer enable their anxiety responses by changing my responses. Must read and implement the tools! ## Frequently Bought Together - Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents - What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming OCD (What-to-Do Guides for Kids) - Treating Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety: A Guide for Caregivers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/220385029-breaking-free-of-child-anxiety-and-ocd-a-scientifically-proven](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/220385029-breaking-free-of-child-anxiety-and-ocd-a-scientifically-proven) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
