Anxiety Symptoms

Do you know what these symptoms are? You may have noticed that maybe your child has become withdrawn, is behaving poorly in school and at home, is lacking in focus and concentration, is telling you that they feel worried a lot, is struggling to make and sustain friendships and may even be displaying physical symptoms such as tummy ache or headaches. If any of this sounds familiar to you, then read on.

Life is so busy for all of us nowadays and this includes our children. We are aware of course that they are part of our busy daily schedule (how could we forget!), but what we may well forget is that they are often affected by the 'busyness' of our schedules and indeed their schedules. Their minds can become so full and overworked, that they do not realise they are becoming stressed by this.

In some cases, your child's anxiety may be coming from other causes such as a specific situation occurring in school or with friends. In other cases, your child may be suffering from low self-esteem and lack of confidence in themselves and often, some children have 'learned' to worry about everything; from forgetting to bring a copy to school to fretting about their parents not being there forever.
