FREE LIVE TRAINING • FOR PARENTS OF ANXIOUS CHILDREN & TEENS
Why Everything You're Doing to Calm Your Child's Anxiety May Be Quietly Feeding It
For Parents Who Want Their Kids to Feel Brave, Confident, and Able to Handle Life — Not Just Managed Around
With Dajana Yoakley & Dr. Christopher Willard
Harvard Medical School Faculty • TEDx Speaker • Author
⏰ 12 PM Central | 1 PM Eastern
Free Training and Live Q&A
Because the meltdowns, the shutdowns, and the fights at your house aren't really about the iPad, the homework, or who touched who first.
They're about a cycle that's quietly running your home — and the good news is, you can still interrupt it.
It's easier to change now than it will be later.
Best for parents of kids ages 3–18 — whether it shows up as school refusal, meltdowns, shutdowns, perfectionism, or nonstop sibling warfare.
Is This FREE Workshop
For Me
And My Family...??
YES! This Training Is For You,
whether your child is just starting to struggle with the "Sunday night scaries," or you are navigating more intense daily challenges like:
✅ You're walking on eggshells because everything is a fight or a meltdown
✅ Every morning is an exhausting negotiation of mysterious tummy aches and refusing to get out of the car in the drop-off line—and by 3:00 PM, they completely explode over the wrong snack
✅ It takes two exhausting hours of laying in their bed just to get them to sleep
✅ You have to say a very specific phrase at bedtime or do things in an exact, rigid order, otherwise the entire night falls apart
✅ They act like your shadow, following you from room to room because they panic if you step out of their sight
✅ Dinner time is a daily battleground because they will only eat three "safe" foods, and they panic at the sight of anything new on their plate
✅ You are constantly fielding endless "what if" questions, or managing their extreme terror over things like storms, dogs, or the dark
✅ Your child is incredibly hard on themselves and will rip up their homework if it isn't perfect

Dr. Christopher Willard
Most parents think their child will just grow out of it.
And most parents try to solve it in the moment — a bribe, a reward, one more reassurance, ten more minutes with the screen.
But real change doesn't come from managing the moment. It comes from understanding the cycle underneath it.
Every time anxiety makes the decision for your child instead of your child making it for themselves, they lose one more chance to learn they're brave enough to handle the world on their own.
And the longer that pattern runs, the smaller their world gets — the birthday party they skip, the sleepover they never try, the friendship that never quite happens.
Right now, you can still interrupt this. The window doesn't stay open forever — but it's open today.
📅 Date: Thursday, August 20th
TIME: 12pm CT/ 1pm ET
DURATION: 90 Minutes
The pattern your child is building right now — reaching for you, or the screen, instead of learning they can handle a hard moment themselves — can shape how capable they feel for decades.
This training will show you how to interrupt it while
change is still possible.
For parents who don't just want fewer meltdowns — but want their child to grow into someone who confidently believes they can handle what life brings them.
Save your seat now, and let's start interrupting this cycle together — while it's still this easy to change.
