Dr. Nahid Shaikh's 11-year-old daughter Maryam had severe anxiety and panic attacks starting in September 2024, with medication and therapy not helping. Seven months into the Diamond Mother parenting program, her daughter's anxiety lifted, their relationship strengthened, and family dynamics improved dramatically.
Uh, it all started, uh, to start with, with my daughter, 11-year-old Maryam. I couldn't make out, she started having this panic attacks and anxiety attacks, uh, like in the month of September 2024, to be very specific. She like stopped completely, stopped going to the school. Her physical health, mental, emotional imbalance, all was happening all, all together. And when I visited the child psychologist, she spoke to her and she showed she needs some medication to slow down because she's Overthinking and procrastinating, that's what she was diagnosed. And we started with medication. I gradually took her for some therapies, but it was not giving any result, no change. In fact, she went into a very bad and vulnerable state. Proudly, I'm a Diamond Mother since November 26th, 2024. It's been 7 months. Connection between me and my daughter has increased tremendously. Now I can vouch that she tells that I am a best friend, I'm the best cheerleader. I becoming a very resourceful mother now after learning like SPH and absorbing all all the learnings and the tools, and hence feeling very empowered parent. It's like any situation comes, I'm not getting panic and I'm not anxious. I know I have the tools, I can like vouch and come to the right decision after having those resources. So I believed in the system, it's a very structured system. This contentment, that happiness quotient, I would say the emotional quotient has increased, the communication is change. Nobody is angry, nobody is unhappy in my home. Like, I can tell only positive vibes. My family dynamics, 360 degrees. 180, be like 360, like it's a full turn for me.
