Parenting a demand-avoidant child can feel confusing, overwhelming, and at times, isolating. Even everyday requests—getting dressed, starting homework, transitioning activities—can trigger significant distress or shutdown.

Between home and school, children experience hundreds of demands each day. Without realizing it, well-meaning adults may unintentionally exceed a child’s capacity to cope, leading to resistance—even around activities they typically enjoy.

Join us on March 20 at 12:00 p.m. ET for an informative and supportive conversation with Maratea Canterella, LMSW.

In this session, she will:

• Outline the key characteristics of demand-avoidance
• Explain the concept of “demand awareness”
• Share practical, low-demand parenting strategies
• Offer communication approaches that help reduce a child’s overall demand load

This event is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators who want a deeper understanding of demand-avoidance and concrete tools they can begin using right away.

We hope you’ll join us for this thoughtful and empowering discussion.
