SPACE For Eating Disorders

What If You Could Help Your Child Without Power Struggles?

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) was developed at the Yale Child Study Center by Dr. Eli Lebowitz and has been proven effective for ARFID. I’ve adapted this evidence-based program for broader restrictive and anxious eating challenges, giving parents practical tools to reduce tension, respond calmly, and support their child’s progress.

Instead of focusing only on food, this approach teaches parents how to manage mealtime anxiety, reduce conflict, and foster lasting change—all while staying calm and confident.

Parent-Led Support For Anxious or Restrictive Eating

Mealtimes don’t have to feel like a battlefield. If your child struggles with restrictive eating or anxiety around food, it can be exhausting, and sometimes even heartbreaking, to watch and not know how to help.

The truth is: you don’t need to push, bribe, or fight your way to progress. And you don’t have to wait for your child to be ready to make a difference. The most powerful change begins with how you respond to eating stress.

An Approach That Actually Works

SPACE is a parent-led, evidence-informed program that empowers you to help your child feel safer around food and reduce mealtime tension.

Instead of focusing on forcing bites, you’ll learn practical strategies to manage your own responses, create calm mealtime routines, and gently guide your child toward healthier patterns.

This program is designed for parents who want real results without adding stress—for themselves or their child.

How the Course Helps You Take Action

This 8-week online program is structured so parents can learn at their own pace, apply strategies immediately, and receive personalized guidance.

You’ll get:

🎥 Weekly video lessons: bite-sized, actionable, and parent-focused

💬 1:1 coaching call to troubleshoot challenges and tailor the approach

By the end, you’ll feel confident in your ability to respond calmly, reduce conflict, and support your child’s progress without pressure.
