💜If this sounds like your home, you’re not alone.

💜Anxiety in children is exhausting, confusing, and it can break your heart.

💜But there are answers and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you want support, tools, and a calmer home in 2026, DM me CALM

💜What does help with anxiety is when parents understand what anxiety is, how it shows up in the body and in behaviours. However to respond without actually unintentionally feeding it and how to build your childs brave.

💜This is exactly why I created my Supporting Your Anxious Child at Home masterclass.

💜2026 doesn’t have to feel like 2025. You don’t have to live on high alert anymore.

💜I’m a mum of an anxious child. I know the panic.
I know the endless worrying.
I know the voice in your head that whispers, “Am I failing them?”

💜But I also know that once you learn how anxiety works then everything changes.

💜Your home becomes calmer. Your child becomes braver and you begin to breathe again.

💜But if you want that shift in 2026 then you need to start today. Stop ignoring it.

💥My recorded 90-minute masterclass will show you where and how to start, learn the words to say in those tricky moments, to know how to respond so you aren't unintentionally making it worse .

💜You’ve tried consequences.
💜You’ve tried rewards.
💜You’ve tried staying calm.

💜But nothing sticks,  because the behaviour isn’t the problem. Anxiety is.

DM CALM to learn how we can work together so that you are equipped with the responses and parent tools you need to make your child feel seen,heard and understood, reduce your stress levels, be able to go out with your friends and not get 50 texts from you'd child and start having family fun days again

💜Next time your child is anxious instead of fixing it saying
✖️I ll do it for you
✖️Okay you dont have to
✖️I ll fix it

💜Try these words instead
✔️This feels hard, I know but you are safe
✔️Let's take one little step together
✔️Your brain is telling you a scary story . Let's check the facts

💜This is how confidence grows and how anxiety shrinks

💜We step in because we love them.
💜We fix it because we don’t want them to struggle.
💜But every time we rescue… anxiety wins and confidence shrinks.

✅Tiny brave moments build strong kids. And you don’t have to figure out how to support those moments alone.

👉My 90-minute masterclass shows you exactly how to break this cycle, calmly, gently, step by step.

💜We don’t mean to do it.
We just want the morning to go smoothly.
We pick up the forgotten lunchbox
We tie the laces
We speak for them
We rescue, fix, soothe, smooth.

But here’s the truth nobody tells parents

💜Every time we remove the discomfort for them, we also remove the chance for them to feel capable. Short-term peace often results in long-term anxiety.

💜This isn’t about being “too soft.” It’s about accidentally teaching their brain,
“I can’t do hard things unless Mam/Dad steps in.”

💜The good news is that now you know you can flip this script gently starting today.

💜Small brave moments creates tiny chances to succeed and a nervous system that learns, “I CAN.”

✅If you’re reading this thinking, “Oh God, this is exactly what’s happening in my house,” you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything wrong. You just need a different roadmap.

👉 My 90-minute masterclass, Supporting Your Anxious Child at Home, shows you exactly how to do this without overwhelm or tears. It’s recorded, instant access, and designed for real homes like yours.

💜This is exactly what friendship is all about . These 2 were legends last night.

💜You never know what's going on for a child and what that's like until you experience it

💜Dylan showed up for his pal Keelan, encouraged him when he needed to and knew when he needed a bit extra

💜And Keelan returned that when Dylan needed support, never any judgement

💥hope they have a great day next year at the concert
