Dealing with child anxiety is NOT easy!

Anxiety makes parenting so much harder. It colors every aspect of family life! If you’re the parent of an anxious child I know that you’ve been working so hard to support your anxious child and yet it’s likely not getting any better and instead is getting worse!

Anxiety looks like:

  • Kids who hate to be left alone, even if you’re just running upstairs
  • Difficult bedtimes and sleep routines so nobody is well rested
  • Reluctance to try new things or flat out refusal
  • Foot dragging to get to school and calls home from the school nurse
  • Friendship and relationship struggles
  • Somatic symptoms like headaches and stomachaches
  • Excessive worrying, whining and nagging
  • Anger, outbursts, meltdowns, family fights and trashed rooms
  • Poor self esteem and so much discouraging, negative self-talk
  • Perfectionism that seems to drive them (and you) beyond the brink
  • Irritability and pessimism that eats up every attempt at family fun

 It’s overwhelming! These intense, sensitive children and teens are hard to parent.

But what if I told you that YOU can turn things around for your anxious child and that I can show you how?

Your parenting is NOT the problem;

It's the solution!

I’m Dawn Friedman MSEd and I have been working with kids and parents for over thirty years. I’ve worked with hundreds of little kids, big kids, teens and adults as a preschool teacher, family case manager, clinical counselor and parent educator. My passion is supporting struggling parents by teaching them all I know about anxious children and teens and helping them figure out how to FREE their family from the trap of child anxiety.

What folks say:

Deciding to join this program was a decision I made not just for the present but for my child’s future. It felt like more than just seeking help; it was investing in building my child’s resilience for whatever comes their way. The support, understanding, and practical strategies we received have set the foundation for a more confident and happier child. Looking back, it’s the best decision I could have made.

What stood out to me about this program was how it felt tailor-made for my child and our family. It wasn’t a generic list of dos and don’ts but a plan that respected who we are, our values, and what we stand for. It embraced my child’s unique personality, turning what I feared were hurdles into strengths. Dawn made sure of that, and it’s made all the difference.

Here's how we meet

With the ClarityFlow app we’ll have an ongoing conversation via text, audio and even video. I can easily share PDFs or links to resources and you can listen to the lessons the way you’d listen to your favorite podcast. Your enrollment includes one other parent or caregiver so that everyone will be on the same page without worrying about juggling schedules, finding childcare, or being stuck on a waitlist for an opening that works with your calendar.

More testimonials

Looking for solutions that wouldn’t just be a band-aid but would genuinely make a difference for my child, I was skeptical about what I could achieve, especially with my limited time. This program surprised me. The changes were not only evident but came through manageable steps that fit into our daily routines. Seeing my child become more resilient and less anxious by the day has been incredibly rewarding.

Daphne,

Mom to an anxious child

I’m a single parent with a full-time job, and finding time for anything extra is tough. This program’s flexibility has been a game-changer. Being able to connect and get support at any time, without having to schedule an appointment weeks in advance, meant I could actually do this. The advice and guidance I needed were always just a message away, making it possible for me to support my child on our own terms.

Elise,

Mom to an anxious child

When my child first started showing signs of anxiety, I felt utterly overwhelmed. I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to start. Then I found this program, and it truly felt like a partnership. The guidance was tailored specifically to my child, making all the difference. It wasn’t just about strategies; it was about understanding my child deeply and navigating this path with someone who genuinely cared and adjusted the plan as we progressed. I no longer felt alone in this.
