I never imagined that anxiety would become such a defining part of my journey as a mother. When my daughter turned nine, her world suddenly became smaller, overshadowed by fears she couldn’t quite explain—fears of getting sick, of losing control, of the unknown. What started as small worries soon grew into overwhelming thoughts that stole her peace, and mine.
 
Through this journey, I learned that childhood anxiety isn’t just about fear; it’s about a child’s need to feel safe in a world that often feels unpredictable. Caring with Confidence is my story—one of discovery, resilience, and learning to walk alongside my daughter as she faced her worries head-on.
This book is not about erasing fear but about understanding it, reshaping it, and showing our children that they are stronger than they think. It’s about the moments of doubt, the late-night reassurances, and the victories—big and small—that shape a child’s confidence. More than anything, it’s about finding the balance between holding on and letting go, so our children can learn to trust themselves.
For any parent who has ever felt helpless watching their child struggle with anxiety, this book is a reminder: you are not alone, and together, you will find the way forward.
