One session with a parenting specialist costs €150–€300. This complete guide — scripts, routines, worksheets, and the full research — is €27. Less than dinner out.

A 64-page, evidence-based guide for parents of anxious kids ages 4–17. Built on the Yale-developed SPACE method — the parent-only approach shown in clinical trials to be as effective as child therapy.

What you get:

 

30 word-for-word scripts for the moments parents freeze: bedtime fears, school refusal, reassurance loops, panic, social anxiety, and more — each showing what to avoid and what to say instead

The SPACE method explained simply — three moves you can start using tonight

6 practical tools your child can learn: 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, box breathing, the anxiety thermometer, the bravery ladder, externalising worry, and the worry window

6 full scenario playbooks mapped step-by-step: school refusal, separation, social anxiety, bedtime, somatic complaints, test anxiety

Age-specific guidance for ages 4–10 and teens 11–17, including how to handle phones and social media

Daily routine guidance — sleep, exercise, screens, caffeine — backed by current pediatric research

5 printable workbook sheets: anxiety thermometer, bravery ladder, worry tracker, accommodation tracker, daily check-in

A self-care section for the parent — because your nervous system is part of the treatment

Red flags and crisis resources — knowing when to seek professional help

 

Grounded in research from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institute of Mental Health, the Yale Child Study Center, and the Child Mind Institute.

FAQ

Questions parents ask before buying

Is this based on real research or just personal opinion?

Both. Each guide is grounded in peer-reviewed clinical research — the ADHD guide draws on frameworks from the American Academy of Pediatrics, CHADD, and Russell Barkley's work. But it's written by someone who also lived through the problem, so the practical parts reflect what actually works day-to-day, not just what works in a lab setting.

My child is already seeing a therapist / doctor. Will this conflict?

No. These guides are practical companions, not replacements for professional care. They give you scripts, routines, and frameworks to use at home between appointments — many parents find their therapist actively supports using structured home tools alongside clinical treatment.

My child was just diagnosed. Is this guide right for us right now?

Yes — this is exactly when it helps most. The first few weeks after a diagnosis are overwhelming. The guide gives you a clear starting point: what to do this week, what to say when your child pushes back, and how to set up the structure they need without turning home into a classroom.

What if I read it and it isn't useful for our situation?

Email us within 30 days for a full refund — no questions, no forms. We'd rather you get your money back than feel stuck with something that didn't fit.
