your child freedom formula - has anyone tried it?

[lu9months]

ive seen adverts for this on fb. they claim to be able to cure anxiety in young people. im suspicious - and nowhere does it tell you the cost. however im fairly desperate since my 16 year old is very disabled by anxiety. thanks

@SwanShaped Why are you putting Sams name when I am clearly not Sam?
I am a mum going through this process, it’s working and I am happy. That’s all you keep going I’m out now.

I guess I wondered if you were Sam. I’m also still waiting on the quotes from where I’ve been hateful and also called you a bad mum.

Junglesum - if only you would post their guarantee clause - surely if what you are saying is true then this could only HELP their credibility for sure? Help us believe!!! 👐🙌

I’d also like to see their Safeguarding PoIicy. I’m sure Sam wouldn’t mind sending it over.

(flouncing in briefly) I’m only coming back to say:

I’d like to see Sam’s NCFE Certificate (so it seems would NCFE!)

(flounces out)

@Goodbutnaughty Very stylish flouncing. I can feel the breeze from the swish of your skirts :)

@DoubleTweenQueen - I am just flouncing in to say I’m off to bed.

flouncing up to bed (DH looks very confused

I am very grateful for the honest, impartial and questioning posts in this thread. Many of the comments are exactly my thoughts, the pressured feeling, lack of transparency and alike. If YCFF are that good then why feel the need to pressure people in to signing up or press their emotional buttons?

Thank you @GoodButNaughty for all the info, I have not noticed any negativity or name calling from you or @Psuedoshoes.

The only emotional, , defensive, negative comments I have seen have been from @JungleMum40. I do hope that you continue your success along with anyone else that signed up already. We are all in the same boat, we all found YCFF to support loved ones with anxiety. This makes us all amazing parents/friends and we should not be judging others for questioning this process. I for one have had so many negative experiences, I am not prepared for another failed attempt, hence all the questions and not many answers.

We are now starting something elsewhere, not ruled out YCFF completely but they will have to work to bring me round and open up as far as experience, business practice and programme details before that happens. Good luck everyone.

Best of luck, @Comfysofa78

I literally turned my back for two hours and things gout flouncy? I miss all the fun...

No-one is a bad mum for doing this programme. No-one is a bad mum for not doing this programme. The only people who need to check their ethics are the people offering this programme.

Ooh..! Check out the post on YCFFs Facebook page this morning..! I wonder who ‘flappy ears’ is..??

[quote JungleMum40]@DoubleTweenQueen no you’re toxic, and don’t want help, obviously. Anyway I’m done now my time is so precious. No doubt I will see you on here in years to come in the same position, living off the back of someone who is just supporting a friend and doesn’t give a flying crap about any of you.[/quote]
You forgot to be kind.

You know nothing about any of us.

You can be unpleasant to me as much as you like - I have come through a minefield of hurt, pain & loss, and am fairly bullet- proof.

No idea who flappy ears is!

Did you start the process @Comfysofa78? Or did you get to enquiry stage. Hope you find something for you that works. There’s been some good advice about what works on here, not sure if you’ve seen earlier posts (it’s a long thread!) teen has a list of what helped her daughter.

Good of Sam to provide her mobile number though - btw, if you ever need to call a number and withhold your own you simply dial 141 beforehand and you will come up as withheld.

I’m going to pass on Sams number to MTF so she can give it to Lucy the investigative journalist. She may want to speak to Sam directly .

Pleased to see she’s finally mentioned safeguarding! Although I still don’t have a copy of the policy to have a look at. And it’s a shame it took nearly 40 pages of a thread.

Wow. The things I miss by having to go up to bed every night at 7:30 to support my DD in the evening. Especially last night as we had to tell her prom was finally cancelled, which is the one thing that has kept her going.

To clarify to @Pseudoshoes the bullying Jungle sees every day at her gym, she later explained she meant the results of bullying, (eg people who had been fat-shamed etc).

I really wish users of YCFF every success, and I still hope they will come back on and explain a bit more about the methods and the results in detail. It really would be the best way to help other parents with children of anxiety, which is after all what we all want on this board.

I just noticed how yesterday Jungle posted about her precious time and in Sam’s FB post this morning she mentions precious time...

Oh no teen! That’s shit her prom was cancelled. Is there a way you could have a small party instead for close friends. Get dressed up anyway and have mocktails?

good there are some things re her writing that I’ve noticed are the same as Sam’s.

Oh teen - I’m so sorry to learn about your DD and her prom! I love SwanShaped’s suggestion.

Swan I'd be happy to and had already suggested something similar, but I don't think she'd go for it. Not helped by having lost touch with her wider friends due to being out of school. The thing is, it was also a 'step' on getting her back out into the wider world and an important precursor to something we have to go to 5 days later that she isn't looking forward to (would cause long term family breakdown if we/she don't attend). Currently have a prom dress being altered, had practice session for hair and everything.

Yeah, I can see that. Having a party at your house, could end up being too stressful and pressured. It’s easier to be on neutral territory somehow. I’m not gonna go on a massive covid rules rant but it really does seem unfair, considering so many other types of events are now allowed and they’re all school friends anyway.

I wonder what is meant by "safeguarding" here. It's implied that the information has been taken down to protect YCFF customers from 'flappy ears and her friends'?

Sorry about the prom teen
