Anxiety can be cruel. It can steal joy from even the happiest of moments in your life. Over time, anxiety can cause low self-esteem, feelings of doubt, and hopelessness that things will improve.
Anxiety can also cause both physical and emotional symptoms that can impair your ability to get through the day-to-day. Some of these symptoms include constant worry, feelings of dread, withdrawal from others, intense fear, rapid heartbeat, increased need to urinate, and an upset stomach. Sleep and appetite can also be negatively impacted. Children experiencing anxiety often begin to avoid social situations, cry frequently, are often stressed, and may have changes in sleep and appetite.
We have been supporting children with anxiety for years and know strategies that work. Together, with your child, we would find tools for their toolbox that will help them live life on their terms.
