Childhood anxiety is a growing problem, but it is also very curable. Each child has different reasons for developing anxiety and it is manifested in different ways for each person. Try asking your child if they know what is causing the anxiety and be aware that they may not know why it is occurring. Most often bringing your child to a therapist is the most beneficial. It is also useful to help your child identify triggers and warning signs. Help teach your child self-soothing and calming techniques such as relaxation skills and grounding techniques if they are having panic attacks.
