Help your child head back to school with confidence—not by eliminating anxiety, but by teaching them how to handle it.
This printable Back-to-School Anxiety Kit is packed with engaging, evidence-based activities rooted in CBT, ERP, and parent coaching strategies to help children face school worries one brave step at a time.
Perfect for families preparing for kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or returning after a difficult school year.
If your child is already asking...
"What if my teacher doesn't like me?"
"What if I don't know anyone?"
"I don't want summer to end."
You're not alone.
Back-to-school season is one of the biggest anxiety triggers for children, and while it's tempting to reassure away every worry, lasting confidence comes from learning they can handle uncomfortable feelings.
The Back-to-School Anxiety Kit gives parents practical, therapist-created tools to prepare children for the transition using evidence-based strategies from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), and supportive parenting principles inspired by the SPACE approach.
Instead of trying to make anxiety disappear, you'll help your child build the confidence to move forward—even when anxiety comes along.

Hi, I'm Hannah!
I'm a licensed anxiety therapist specializing in helping children, teens, and families overcome anxiety and OCD using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ERP, and parent coaching.
Everything inside this workbook is based on strategies I use every day with the families I support in my private practice.
Unlike generic anxiety worksheets, these activities are designed to help children actually practice bravery—not simply talk about their worries.
The goal isn't for your child to feel perfectly calm before school starts.
The goal is for them to discover:
"I can do hard things, even when I feel anxious."
That's the confidence that lasts long after the first day of school.
