8 Ways A Child's Anxiety Shows Up as Something Else

It's completely reasonable that almost everyone is experiencing a heightened level of anxiety durning this time. It's sometimes difficult though to recognize and express feelings and worries. This poster highlights different ways these emotions may be showing up for your child. If so, it may be helpful to shift perspective and talk about what is behind the behaviour rather than seeing only the behaviour.

Apps to develop awareness and coping strategies for anxiety  

Everyone experiences varying levels of anxiety. It's natures way of keeping us safe. Anxiety also helps us to grow and develop such as feeling the drive to study for a test because you want to do well.  Anxiety becomes a problem though, when thoughts and  senses are alerted and our bodies respond when there is no danger or reason to be anxious. It is also troublesome when individuals have not had the opportunity to develop coping and strategies to sooth anxiety 

These Apps and others can be very helpful for developing awareness about anxiety as well as strategies that will allow us to take back control.
