Does this sound familiar?

​

Children who are prone to anxiety, worry or fear often spend much of their day in a heightened state of alert. Their brains and bodies are constantly scanning for danger, uncertainty or things that feel overwhelming.

 

This can often look like:

• obvious anxiety

• defiance or strong resistance

• emotional distress that feels sudden or intense

• emotional reactions that feel very big for the situation

• a child who is very difficult to calm once they are upset

• frequent meltdowns over seemingly small things

• clinginess or difficulty separating from parents

• constant reassurance-seeking (“Is everything okay?”, “Are you sure?”)

• avoidance of everyday activities like school, social situations or sleep

• physical complaints such as tummy aches or headaches without a clear cause

• shutdown or withdrawal after busy or overwhelming days

• difficulty transitioning between activities or environments
