Managing anxiety
Anxiety is common in kids, but it can impact school, sleep, and self-confidence. Learn the signs and how to support your child with calm, proven strategies.
Anxiety is a normal response to stress—but when it becomes frequent or intense, it can affect a child’s daily life. Children with anxiety may avoid school, worry excessively, or become overwhelmed by routine tasks. Understanding what anxiety is and how it affects your child is the first step. With the right tools and support, anxiety can be managed effectively.
Anxiety shows up in different ways. Children may experience sleep trouble, irritability, difficulty concentrating, or physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches. They may avoid certain situations, become overly clingy, or withdraw from things they used to enjoy. When these patterns persist, it’s a sign they need support—early recognition leads to better outcomes.
Helping children manage anxiety with expert support
Therapists, psychologists and other experts use age-appropriate strategies to help children understand their feelings, develop calming techniques, and build coping skills. Techniques may include cognitive-behavioral approaches, play-based therapy, or family support. With the right guidance, children can learn to manage anxiety and face challenges with growing confidence.
