Does this sound familiar to you?
Your child or tween…
- Constantly worrying about future “what if” scenarios
- Avoiding socializing with other kids
- Transforming from worried into explosively angry
- Losing sleep due to nervousness or fear
- Asking for your reassurance over and over again
- Still worrying even with your reassurance
The fact is, 1 in 8 kids suffer from anxiety or excessive worry. Your child is not alone.
Why is anxiety taking over my child?
A long time ago worry helped our ancestors survive in a dangerous environment. If they detected a Saber-toothed cat in the grass, their worry system would put them on alert and signal them to skedaddle or else become lunch. This is called the negativity bias and it’s a good thing. It kept our ancestors alive so they passed it down to us.
Fortunately, we live in a much safer world now with house cats instead of saber-toothed ones. Our worry system doesn’t need to be on high alert all the time.
Children with anxiety are CONSTANTLY on high alert and seeking out danger even when there is no danger. They are unnecessarily putting themselves in fight or flight mode. This is why children with anxiety are nervous, jittery, moody, unfocused, need constant reassurance, don’t sleep well, are overly self-critical or hypersensitive.
In short, they are not in control of their own worry.
A little-discussed aspect of childhood anxiety is this: you feel helpless as a parent. You’re not able to talk your child out of worrying no matter what you say. You’ve tried positive reinforcement. You’ve tried downplaying anxiety-causing situations. You’ve even tried bribing… And more than once you’ve felt frustrated enough to yell.
Too many times you’ve had that sad, helpless feeling of watching your child struggle… while WISHING there was something you could do to fix it.
We have something that can help!
The GoZen! anxiety relief program teaches your child how to understand and control their worry. This isn’t a magic pill or a miracle cure. It’s just good old-fashioned research and science delivered in a fun, engaging way that your child will love. And because stress, pressure and challenges are part of everyday life, these are skills your child will use forever.
Peace is within reach.
What will my child learn?
By the end of the course your child will have the skills and knowledge to be more in control of their body and mind. Your child will have an understanding of what anxiety is, where it comes from, and how to effectively deal with it.
Here are just some of the things you and your child will learn:
- How to avoid avoiding. Your child will learn a simple step-by-step method to overcome their fears and confidently achieve their goals.
- The 5Cs of Resilience. In five easy steps, we teach your child how to recognize, examine, challenge and change their thoughts.
- How to go from “What if” to “What is.” We help your child stop worrying about every possible outcome of a situation and focus on the most realistic one.
- Five thinking distortions that make your child unnecessarily anxious or afraid and how to avoid them.
- A 10-minute exercise your child can practice every day to reverse or eliminate the physical effects of anxiety.
- Self-reliance. Your child will acquire the confidence and skills to learn how to cope with anxiety attacks, distorted thinking, worries and fears on their own.
- For Parents! Three common mistakes parents make when dealing with their anxious child and how to quickly resolve them using the F.E.E.L. Method.
What makes GoZen! effective?
We make worry easy to understand from the 'Inside Out'.
Have you seen the Oscar award-winning film Inside Out? Just like the movie, GoZen! personifies certain feelings and thoughts that live inside the brain using two characters: Til & Widdle.
Til & Widdle make learning about worry a lot more fun! Rather than lecture kids on abstract concepts, kids truly understand and act upon resilience skills taught via our characters.
Til helps kids practice logical thinking and decision-making; Widdle helps kids understand that a little worry is a good thing. When Widdle overreacts, children teach Widdle how to calm down with their newly learned coping skills.
GoZen! is awesome. It has given me a way to discuss complex topics and challenges with my children. The scenarios described are real and very useful. It completely keeps the kids attention and if I’m honest given the science behind this, I’m learning as much as they are. Do your entire family a favor and invite this intergalactic gem into your home!

I bought your program recently and love it! My daughter is much less anxious and gets less overwhelmed. We had so many years of hardship in that area — this program is such a blessing! I am willing to bet that you are receiving many happy stories, but I wanted you to know ours. Thank you for everything.

Our daughter has always been prone to separation anxiety, but it came to a head when she had to go to a 5-day camp. We tried several different approaches, but it was GoZen! that really ‘clicked’ for her. She breezed through the camp, and has handled further challenges like starting high school with much greater confidence.

My child has been through everything – and GoZen! has made THE impact for her. We experienced a natural disaster last year in our city and she developed anxiety within days of the disaster.
A year later a new psychologist (the 5th) introduced us to this series and it has made the WHOLE difference. Thank you so very much for bringing this in the format kids connect with compared to blowing bubbles and breathing exercises and doing worksheets!

My son has lived with immobilizing panic attacks since experiencing a horrific concussion at a young age. He has lost full days being stressed about absolutely everything, throwing up, and all of the other terrible symptoms. It has been the hardest thing to watch and not have all the answers to make it go away when his anxieties try to take over him.
While researching a couple of months ago – neuroscience, MBSR, CBT, home remedies, etc. I came across GoZen! and my son just told me this morning, “Momma, the only thing that helps besides you is GoZen, especially Widdle.” I will never be able to thank you enough. Ever.

Hi, I’m Renee Jain.
I'm the founder and Chief Storyteller here at GoZen! I grew up worried. At age 5, I begged my parents to let me sleep with my brother’s plastic bat because I was so worried that when I went to sleep, a robber would break in.
I know all too well what it’s like to live with anxiety as a child.
Even in my twenties, I continued to struggle until one day I had a panic attack in my office. As I lay gasping for breath, I decided enough was enough. I wasn’t going to let anxiety control my life any longer. I spent several years investing time in self-education, talk therapy and then a master’s in psychology.
Through both formal education and personal experience, one very clear truth emerged: Resilience is a skill.
While some of us are born more resilient, others simply need to master this ability with practice (and, yes, it can be practiced)! We can help kids cultivate basic coping techniques to overcome anxiety as well as life skills to find meaning, purpose, and engagement in their lives.
While I can’t go back in time to help little Renee, I founded GoZen! in order to help a new generation of kids, parents and therapists. Peace is within reach–it comes from strength that lies within all of our children.
What's covered in the program?
The program is broken down into 6 modules that teach your child how to understand, control and manage their anxiety. The concepts are delivered over 34 animations featuring fun, relatable characters in real-life situations.
Module 1: What is Worry?
In the first module, we dive right in to explore what causes worry. Kids are fascinated by facts about the brain. It helps them demystify what they are going through and shows them the control they have over their worry.
Module 2: Worry Affects Your Body
Increased heart rate, shortness of breath, tummy aches—we talk about how worry makes us feel and kids learn special techniques to help calm them down when worry takes over.
Module 3: Worry Affects Your Thinking
We go over the the 3 major thinking errors that causes kids to worry–Avoiding, What Iffing and ThoughtHoles–and how kids can change their thinking style.
Module 4: Watch out for ThoughtHoles!
Nelly and Tomas demonstrate the 5 main types of ThoughtHoles or distortions of reality kids fall into when they’re worried. Then they’ll learn how to recognize and correct them in the future.
Module 5: The 5Cs Technique
In order to escape from ThoughtHoles, kids discover the 5Cs technique. Neutrino gives kids a powerful GoTool! for each one of the 5Cs!
Module 6: The FARR Method
It can be a little tricky for kids to remember exactly which technique to use when they’re worried about something–no worries, the FARR Method comes to the rescue! And since this is the last module, Neutrino and ScienceGuy have a surprise!
