Understanding Demand Avoidance

17 SEPTEMBER 2025

Did you know that a 'demand' refers to any expectation placed on a child, whether it is direct or indirect? In this webinar, Anne-Marie Harrison, Education Director from Ideas Afresh, explores practical ways to support children with presentations of demand-avoidance.

Understanding Demand Avoidance

In this webinar, Anne-Marie will guide you through how to build a strong, safe foundation for children described as demand avoidant, using her supportive 'ANCHOR' framework. She will explain the meaning behind each part of the ANCHOR acronym, helping you better understand and navigate challenging behaviours while supporting your child in becoming their best self. The session will also offer practical strategies, tools, and advice tailored to demand avoidance, with the added opportunity to ask Anne-Marie your questions during a live Q&A.
