Child’s Anxiety



A certain amount of anxiety is normal in children. Common childhood anxieties include fear of the dark, worries about making friends, nervousness about performing well in school or sports, and becoming aware of scary situations in an adult world. Sometimes major life transitions can cause a child to experience anxiety in an area they had been confident in before. Being attentive to and validating these fears can go a long way in helping children learn to work through them, but when these anxieties become persistent or intense enough to stop a child from functioning well or from fully participating in the world around them, then expert assistance may be beneficial.
