Your child's anxiety about the big change is normal. Your panic about not knowing how to help? That's what we're fixing today.
Your free guide to turning screen time into creative thinking—with 3 turnkey activities, calming scripts, and a printable workbook your kids will actually use.
Hi there! It's Jill.
You know that feeling, right? It's the Sunday night before school starts (or co-op, or the new curriculum launch), and your kid is already spiraling. The 'what-ifs' are flying. Maybe they're clingy. Maybe they're having a meltdown over something tiny. And you're standing there thinking: *'I don't know how to fix this. Am I doing this wrong?'*
Here's the truth: Your child isn't broken. You're not broken. They're just scared of the unknown.
And the good news? There's a *simple* way to rewire that fear into curiosity in about 10 minutes.
Over the last 20 years, I've worked with thousands of kids—on stage, in classrooms, in living rooms—and I've discovered that the kids who handle big transitions *calmly and confidently* aren't the ones with perfect lives. They're the ones who have a *story-powered tool* to make sense of their big feelings.
That's what I'm sharing with you today.
What's Inside?
INSIDE THE STORYOLOGISTS GUIDE:
I want you to see what's possible when you go from ordinary to extraordinary using the marketing & business strategies I teach at my private mastermind.
Activity #1
"Rewrite the Story"
Flips your child's negative 'what-if' spiral into possibility thinking. Instead of catastrophizing, they start looking for opportunities. (The shift from dread to curiosity happens *fast*.)
Activity #2
"The Tale of the Magic Remote"
Gives your child a mental circuit breaker for big emotions. When overwhelm hits, they have a simple tool to pause, lower the volume, and get back in control. (No more meltdowns before co-op.)
Activity #3
"Create a Worry Character"
Helps your child separate their identity from the anxiety. The worry becomes a silly monster they can talk to, instead of a scary part of *them*. (Empowerment in one drawing.)

What Parents are saying about us
"We absolutely love Less Stress Express! We've watched the videos and explored the program, and think Page Turner Adventures has done such an incredible job taking something that can feel really big and overwhelming for kids and turning it into something fun, engaging, and easy to understand.
What we love most is that it doesn't just teach kids about stress and anxiety, it gives them actual tools they can use when they're having those big feelings. And because it's Page Turner Adventures, everything is delivered with so much creativity, humor, and fun that kids are learning without it ever feeling like a lesson. We've already seen changes in our kids.
As a mom, I love anything that helps give kids the words and tools to better understand what they're feeling. Less Stress Express is creative, thoughtful, and so incredibly well done. I genuinely love what they've created! Would highly recommend"
