Kids don't say "I'm anxious"
6 Reasons Moms Are Buying This $19 Deck Kids Actually Use
By David, RPh & Yumi, NPPharmacist and nurse practitioner · Updated Oct 2026
"My tummy hurts." "I don't want to go." "What if something happens?" If that sounds like your house, you're not alone.
You're not doing it wrong. You just need the right tools. Read this before you try anything else.

1. It gives the worry somewhere to go
Every parent says "don't worry." It comes from love. But a worried brain can't just switch off.
Each card gives your kid one small thing to do instead. Take a slow breath. Name the worry. Check if it's really true. A job beats a reassurance.

Real customer. Individual experience.
2. No screen before bed
No app. No glow. No "five more minutes." Just a card in their hands and you next to them.
It's the kind of calm you can't get from a phone, because the phone is part of what keeps them wired.

3. Cats make it feel like a game, not therapy
Kids want to pick the next card. That's the difference between a tool they use and one that sits in a drawer.
The cats keep it light. Worry feels a little smaller when a cat is telling you to breathe.
4. It takes about a minute
Pull a card. Read it slowly. Try the prompt. That's it.
It works at bedtime, before school, in the car or in the waiting room. For younger kids, read it aloud and do the prompt together.
5. The goal is for them to reach for it on their own
You do it together at first. Over time, the card becomes their move when worry shows up. Not yours.
That's the part that matters most. You won't always be there at 2am, at school or at a sleepover. A skill goes with them.
6. Made by a pharmacist and a nurse practitioner, and risk-free for 60 days
30,000+ decks sold. 4.8 stars from over 1,000 ratings. Built by two people who work in healthcare and see anxiety every day.
Try it for 60 days. If it's not a fit, send it back for a full refund.
Try it risk-freeWhy we made it
David, RPh & Yumi, NPPharmacist · Nurse practitioner
"We wanted something people could actually reach for in the moment."
We both work in healthcare and see anxiety every day. Most tools are an app, a waitlist or a pamphlet.
So we made something simple you can hold. And cats, because a little lightness helps.
You're already showing up for your kid. We just wanted to give you better tools.
