Publisher's Synopsis
Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear that is experienced as a combination of physical sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Every child and adolescent experiences times of worry; this is a normal part of growing up. Young people may become more anxious at certain times, such as on their first day of school or before an exam, but they will soon be able to relax and feel better.
When a young person feels stuck in anxiety or that it is overwhelming, distressing, or unmanageable, it can become a problem. In the event that this sort of stressing happens for quite a while, it can leave a youngster feeling depleted and disconnected, and limit the things they feel ready to do.
You can support your child with anxiety by offering emotional support, developing practical strategies together, and locating the appropriate professional assistance if they require it.
