GBI can only rate 4 bc I feel 5 stars… I can only rate 4 bc I feel 5 stars would be me seeing/ or hearing him apply what he has learned in a school setting. But he definitely enjoys tapouts and WANTS to continue. So that is a plus for me. We have only been doing this for a month (2 weeks was winter break, but still attended 4 sessions). I mentioned it to his neurologist that we are starting this program and he was excited to hear about this.

GBGreat Experience I have nothing but great things to say about tapouts. My daughter looks forward to her session with her group each week. She now refers to there others is her group as friends. She is learning valuable skills for life in a fun way.

GBI love how Tapout normalizes kids… I love how Tapout normalizes kids talking about feelings and emotions with other kids. This validation and community is exactly what my son has needed! He loved the point/reward incentive as well.

GBManaging Anxiety Tapouts has been amazing with helping my son overcome his anxiety. He has learned to cope better with his day to day activities. I would highly encourage to anyone who has a child with anxiety to give this program a try.

GBI have 2 kids in tapouts and the whole family is benefiting big time! I have two kids in tapouts and they both love it! My oldest child is 13 and has really been enjoying tapouts, but the biggest thing I've noticed is the change in how he interacts with his little brother. He gets irritated with his younger brother a lot, and will react by saying something rude or by yelling at him, but lately, he's started saying, "I just need a minute," and he'll walk away. I've noticed this major shift and praised him for it, and he said he's "just trying to regulate more." I can tell he feels better about himself, and his relationship with his little brother is 10x better. I'm so proud of him! It's funny cause I don't think he'd relate any of this directly to tapouts, but the shift is obvious to me. For him, he loves tapouts because it's easy, and he enjoys his coach, his group, and the games they play. Plus, It's only a half-hour long, so it doesn't take up too much of his time, and he earns points through participation which motivates him big time. He's saving his points up because he's working toward one of the big prizes - which I think is awesome. There are so many valuable things he's getting out of this program, most of which he's not even aware of, but the results are SO obvious to me. I also have a 9-year-old daughter in tapouts. She's an identical twin and often feels like she's in her sister's shadow. She struggles with confidence. tapouts is one of the only spaces that is just for her and she loves attending alone. In fact, I've noticed she hasn't even mentioned to her group that she's a twin. I wanted her to join to help with her anxiety and confidence, but I'm seeing how much independence she's gaining through having this little community outside of her regular world. Her relationship with her twin is as close as it's always been, but she's starting to share her feelings of comparison more, and she's working through those feelings. She told me last week, "Mom, I like how I look." That is a BIG statement for her, and I've seen her confidence growing week by week. She's also more willing to do her therapy for anxiety than she's been in the past. She has a major fear of needles, and putting in her new earrings every day is a big challenge for her. The other day she walked out of her room so proud, and told me she was able to clean and replace her earrings all by herself. I asked her how she did it, and she said, "I stopped and did box breaths when I got woozy." She learned box breathing in tapouts. tapouts has been such a great supplement in addition to therapy. When I take her to counseling, she always dreads it a little, because she knows she's there to work on hard things, but with tapouts, she looks forward to each session because it feels like fun, not work. She likes her group and coach, and she feels special. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this program.
