What's Really Keeping Your Child Stuck
The Accommodation Quiz: Discover the Hidden Patterns That Feed Your Child's Anxiety
You answer the same worried question ten times a day. You plan your entire schedule around avoiding triggers. You've changed bedtime routines, canceled plans, and rearranged your life to prevent meltdowns.
It feels like love. It looks like support. But what if the way you've been trying to help is actually strengthening your child's anxiety?
Discover exactly how accommodation shows up in your family and get your personalized starting point for change with our evidence-based quiz designed by professionals who specialize in childhood anxiety.
Are you unknowingly making your child's anxiety worse?
What Makes This Guide Different?
Our FREE guide reveals the specific accommodation patterns in your family using an assessment adapted from research by professionals who specialize in childhood anxiety treatment, giving you clarity on what's actually keeping your child stuck.
Our guide gives you science-backed strategies that:
-
Learn which of the seven common patterns shows up most in your family, from The Reassurance Loop to The Emergency Responder. Discover why answering "Will I be okay?" for the hundredth time actually increases doubt rather than building confidence.
-
End the confusion about whether this is "normal parenting" or something that needs to change. This proven assessment gives you a clear score (Low, Moderate, High, or Severe) so you know exactly where you stand and what level of intervention makes sense.
-
Work through a visual breakdown of how accommodation strengthens anxiety: your child experiences fear, signals distress, you accommodate, everyone feels temporary relief, but anxiety grows stronger. Understand why the pattern feels impossible to break without changing your response.
-
Includes specific guidance for your accommodation level, whether you're catching patterns early or feeling completely overwhelmed by how much anxiety controls your family. Stop guessing what to tackle first and get clear direction on your next steps.
Inside Your Free Guide:
-
Discover your family's accommodation level across two key areas: Participation in Anxiety Behaviors (reassurance, special routines, helping avoid situations) and Modification of Family Functioning (changed schedules, doing their responsibilities, treating anxiety as emergency). Get your personalized score and what it means.
-
Understand exactly what your score reveals, from Low Accommodation (maintaining boundaries well) to Severe Accommodation (life revolves around preventing triggers). Learn the common patterns at each level, what to focus on, and realistic expectations for change.
-
See which pattern sounds like your family: The Reassurance Loop, The Path Sweeper, The Midnight Companion, The Social Buffer, The Emergency Responder, or The Ritual Keeper. Get specific "pattern recognition" indicators so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
-
Understand the step-by-step process that keeps families stuck: child experiences anxiety → signals distress → parent accommodates → temporary relief → anxiety strengthens → repeat. See why your child's world gets smaller and confidence shrinks when this pattern continues.
-
Explore the valid reasons parents accommodate, you love your child, it works temporarily, no one taught you differently, you're exhausted, you feel guilty, you're scared of making things worse. Understand the difference between accommodation (protection) and support (confidence in their ability to handle feelings).
-
Get clear direction on whether awareness and practice are enough or whether you need systematic support through the SPACE approach. Learn the three levels of change: Awareness, Practice, and Consistency.
