This gentle, kid-friendly guide was created for children in grades 1–5 who worry about throwing up, stomach sensations, or getting sick and for the parents who want to help them feel safe, understood, and supported.
Inside this ebook, kids learn:
What emetophobia is (in clear, non-scary language)
Why their brain sends “false alarms”
Why the fear feels so real — even when nothing is wrong
How anxiety affects the body
How reassurance, checking, and avoiding can accidentally keep fear going
Brave, realistic messages they can practice when worry shows up
Parents will learn:
Why reassurance doesn’t work the way we hope
How to respond in ways that lower anxiety over time
How to support their child without forcing exposures
What evidence-based treatment (ERP) actually looks like — and why guidance matters
This guide is not a replacement for therapy and does not ask children to do exposure work on their own.
Instead, it builds understanding, language, and readiness — so kids feel less scared of their fear and more open to getting help.
Written by a licensed psychologist who works with children and teens with emetophobia and anxiety every day, this guide is designed to feel:
Calm
Validating
Developmentally appropriate
Easy to read together at night
✨ You don’t have to figure this out alone and your child isn’t broken.
