The Anxious Child Breakthrough Challenge

Understand what’s really happening beneath your child’s anxiety – and what actually helps.

A Free 4-Day Challenge for Parents of Anxious Children

14 - 17th September

If your child’s anxiety is running your household…

If reassurance no longer works…

If you feel stuck between protecting your child and pushing them too hard…

Then this challenge is for you!

This free challenge will help you..

Understand what’s really happening beneath your child’s anxiety – and what actually helps.

  • Without blame

  • Without quick ‘sticking plaster’ fixes

  • Without becoming a ‘performance’ and lines you have to remember

Led by Charlotte Cook –
Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist & Childhood Anxiety Specialist

This challenge is for you if:

Your child worries constantly, avoids things, or becomes overwhelmed easily

Mornings, bedtime, school or separation feel like daily battles

You’re exhausted from reassuring, explaining, negotiating or rescuing

You’re scared of “making it worse” if you say the wrong thing

You want to help your child feel safer – without feeding the anxiety

You don’t need your child to attend.

This is parent work that helps children change.

Why do this when I have tried everything?

Most parenting advice focuses on:

  • Fixing the child

  • Calming the feelings

  • Saying the ‘right’ thing

THIS CHALLENGE focuses on:

  • Understanding anxiety as a protective system

  • Shifting the parent response that keeps anxiety stuck

  • Helping you become your child’s emotional anchor

Small changes in parents create BIG changes in anxious children

How it works?

Understand what’s really happening beneath your child’s anxiety – and what actually helps.

  • Live each evening at 8pm UK

  • 14 - 17th September

  • Private Facebook group

  • 20-30 minutes per session

  • Replays available during the challenge

  • You can listen quietly or join the discussion – both are welcome
