Are you a parent of a child that is having problems dealing with anxiety in today’s world? Maybe your child has already been seen by a therapist or doctor and might already be on medications, and just want something extra to help your child on another level. Or maybe you simply are ready to start somewhere to help your child deal with anxiety before you jump right into medications or therapy. Whatever your reasons are for checking into different anxiety treatments for your child, there are so many programs to choose from and it can be hard to determine which might be the best for you and your child. Being in the same boat, we decided to take a look at some of the different child anxiety treatments out there and came across The Anxiety-Free Child Program. After looking into this program for a few weeks, here are our findings so far:

The very first thing that we found about this program is that it is completely different than other ones out there for one main reason: the style of the writing. What makes this such a big deal? Well, when you consider that most of the anxiety programs out there today are written by doctors, therapists, or even pharmaceutical companies, they have an interest in either you spending your money with them or with providing medical terminology and so forth. Both of these reasons can make for a boring, dry read that will more than likely put you to sleep. Instead of that approach, The Anxiety-Free Child Program actually is readable. The author’s style of writing is very light, laid back, and easy to understand, yet still provides high-quality information and techniques that actually help out. You and your child won’t get a headache from just trying to read the program itself. This is a great break from the vast majority of the other child anxiety programs out there today, as most either are terribly dry or they are easy to read but don’t provide any useful information.

Another factor that sets The Anxiety-Free Child Program apart from others similar to it out there is the fact that there are actual audio recordings of the techniques that your child can listen to, and there are other areas of the program that are specifically designed for you to do with your child. Unlike other programs out there that only require adult participation to help your child deal with anxiety, The Anxiety-Free Child Program offers a way for your child to actively get involved with the program and take part in learning to really manage their own feelings and anxiety instead of listening to you tell them what to do. This can make a huge difference in the outcome of the program overall and how your child learns to deal with their anxiety in the future. We personally love this part of the program and think that more programs should include this interaction with the child instead of leaving them out.

When it comes to the information that is actually in The Anxiety-Free Child Program, we also found that it is really great. Not only is it well written, not only are there specific areas just for your child, but there are also so many different techniques and practices throughout the program to help you and your child succeed. Also, you will find that the program goes through the different types of anxiety out there that can affect your child, how it affects your family overall, how you can help to deal with it, and even pointers and tips for choosing the right therapist if you have not found one already. There is literally so much different helpful information in The Anxiety-Free Child Program that it will almost knock you over. You will not have to worry about finding just filler or fluff material here. Every page is really full of information, not just mumbo jumbo, which makes the program even more worth the value.

Now, on to the part that really matters when it comes to the program overall: does it actually work? While we read several reviews out there about the program before we decided to look at it better, we did understand that some of these might have been paid reviews. So, we decided to look at the program with a different view and actually try it out on a child that is dealing with anxiety already. We took the program and used it for several weeks before writing a review. After only a few weeks of using the program exactly how it describes in the program and allowing the child to use the audio recordings and the other techniques, as well as working with him – we did find a marked improvement in overall daily activities. From simple things like going new places to dealing with situations that would normally make him mad or upset, everything around the house and everything around him (such as school and sports) suddenly were calmer and easier to deal with. Even though we did have to work at it every day, we were very impressed with the results. And, we still continue to use it, every day, and allow him to use the audio recordings whenever he feels the need to – and they do help.

Overall, were we impressed with The Anxiety-Free Child Program? Yes. Would we recommend it to other parents who have a child dealing with any type of anxiety? Yes, completely. Do we give it high marks when it comes to our review? Obviously. If you have a child that is dealing with any type of anxiety, we would completely recommend The Anxiety-Free Child Program and we would agree that when it is used daily and practiced daily, the results are great. It doesn’t matter if your child is already on a regimen with a doctor or therapist, this is an excellent program to help them learn to control the anxiety without anything else, such as medications or therapy, so that they can learn how to deal with their anxiety throughout their lives.
