The Anxious Parent Resource Library
Practical tools for supporting an anxious child without letting anxiety run the show.
Your child is worried.
You’re worried because they’re worried.
And suddenly you’re trying to figure out what to say, whether to reassure them, whether to let them stay home, how to handle the meltdown, and how to respond to the latest “What if…?”
Again.
You love your child deeply. You want them to feel better. But you also don’t want anxiety to start making decisions for your whole family.
You don’t need another parenting book you’ll never finish. You need practical tools you can actually use in the moments when anxiety shows up.
That’s exactly what this resource library is designed to provide.
Inside the library, you'll get:
1. Back-to-School Anxiety Kit
A practical resource for navigating school-related anxiety, worries, avoidance, and those difficult back-to-school transitions.
2. School Anxiety Supportive Statements
Simple language you can use when your child is worried about school, doesn't want to get on the bus, has a stomachache, or is looking for reassurance.
3. Summer Anxiety Guide
Tools and guidance for navigating anxiety during the summer months, when changes in routine, camps, travel, activities, and more can create new challenges.
4. Script for Camp Meltdowns
Because sometimes “I don't want to go!” turns into a full-blown meltdown.
This resource gives you language to help you respond with warmth and confidence without immediately jumping into rescue mode.
5. Script for Reassurance Seeking
For the child who asks:
"Are you sure?"
"What if something happens?"
"Promise me I won't..."
"But what if...?"
Learn how to respond without getting pulled into the endless reassurance loop.
6. Breaking Free From Child Anxiety Guide
A practical guide to understanding the anxiety cycle, avoidance, accommodations, reassurance, and the ways anxiety can start running the show at home.
7. Parent Coping Plan
Because your child's anxiety can activate your anxiety, too.
This resource helps you identify your own triggers, notice the urge to rescue or fix, and think about how you want to respond when your child's discomfort becomes uncomfortable for you.
8. Supportive Statements
A collection of supportive language you can come back to when you're not sure what to say.
Because sometimes you know what you don't want to say, but you're still thinking:
“Okay... so what DO I say?”
This gives you a place to start.
This library is for you if...
You find yourself regularly thinking:
“Is this anxiety or is something actually wrong?”
“How much reassurance is too much?”
“Should I make them do it or let them skip it?”
“I know I shouldn't keep reassuring them... but what am I supposed to say instead?”
“Why does every school morning feel like a battle?”
“How do I support my child without making things worse?”
“I know anxiety is driving this, but watching my child struggle is SO hard.”
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
You don't have to become the perfect anxiety parent.
You don't have to get every response right.
You don't have to eliminate your child's anxiety.
And you don't have to become a completely calm parent who never worries about their child.
That parent does not exist.
The goal is to build your confidence in responding to anxiety differently.
Sometimes that sounds like:
“I know this feels really hard.”
“I hear that you're worried.”
“I'm not surprised you're feeling anxious.”
“You don't have to feel comfortable to do something hard.”
“I believe you can handle this.”
Support doesn't always mean making the uncomfortable feeling disappear.
Sometimes it means helping your child discover:
“I can feel anxious and still do this.”
And sometimes it means reminding yourself:
“My child can be uncomfortable, and I can tolerate that, too.”

A growing collection of practical, parent-friendly tools
Created by a therapist who works with anxious kids and their parents
I'm Hannah Karamanoogian, MA, LCMHC, ATR-BC.
I've spent years working with children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety and OCD, and my private practice focuses specifically on anxiety and OCD.
My approach is informed by evidence-based treatments including CBT, ERP, ACT, and SPACE-informed parent work.
I've created these resources because I know that parenting an anxious child doesn't just happen during a therapy appointment.
It happens at 7 AM before school.
At bedtime.
In the car.
At the bus stop.
Before camp.
During the 10th “what if?” question of the night.
Parents need practical tools for those moments, too.
