Family Accommodation: When Helping Keeps Anxiety in Place

A three-page parent worksheet on family accommodation in childhood anxiety — the loop where stepping in buys ten minutes of calm and grows next month's worry. Includes a plain-language explanation of the loop, an accommodation audit with a weekly frequency count, empathy-first response scripts (instead of / try), a three-rung step-down ladder, a note on handling protest, and a weekly tracking table to bring to session. For therapists working with parents and caregivers of anxious children.
