Tears at drop off, separation anxiety, unfairly labelled "the naughty kid"….
We’ve been there and know from personal experience the toll it takes both on you and your child. You need help, and fast! Courageous kids combines the solutions that have been so successful for our own kids, in a form you can tailor to your child.
Developed by Dr Kathryn Hackman, in collaboration with a leading paediatric occupational therapist and psychologist, all mothers, the Courageous Kids app is specifically designed to build your child’s confidence and resilience. Courageous kids empowers you to explain and reflect on events with your 2-6 year old.

Our Story
Courageous Kids is a passion project inspired by my two young children. I started writing social stories to present everyday situations to them in a relatable and familiar way.
The idea was to help enable them to approach the world and its challenges, with confidence.
