Anchor was built for kids with developmentally normal separation anxiety and for families navigating the everyday distance that life creates. It is for any family who wants to feel a little closer when life keeps them apart.
Anchor is for you if...
Your child
Struggles at drop-off but settles once you're gone
Misses you during the day but can function without you present
Is going through a transition — new school, custody change, new caregiver
Wants a private, screen-free way to feel connected
Is generally ages 3 and up
Your family
Navigating co-parenting or shared custody
Has a deployed or frequently traveling parent
Working from home and wants to stay connected without disruption
Anchor may not be right if…
If your child has been diagnosed with clinical-level separation anxiety disorder, a transitional object can reinforce avoidance. We recommend working with a therapist first.
Your child already relies on multiple safety behaviors to get through transitions
Separations cause significant functional impairment (meltdowns lasting 30+ minutes, inability to engage in school, frequent teacher intervention)
You as the parent are highly anxious about separations. This can unintentionally signal to your child that separation is something to fear.
