Managing Worry and Anxiety for kids

A Parent's Guide to Understanding Childhood AnxietyAnxiety affects approximately 20% of children and adolescents. Understanding the type of anxiety a child has is the first thing parents can do to help their children.

How To Help A Child Struggling With AnxietyWhen a child is scared of the dark or being left alone, it can be hard for adults to know the difference between an age-appropriate fear and full-blown anxiety. This episode is full of tools to help parents better understand and manage their child's "worry brain."

Many children and adults cope with anxious feelings time to time. If those anxious feelings are interrupting daily function, a person could be dealing with an anxiety disorder and/or pervasive anxiety in certain situations. Please see your medical health care provider if you have a concern that you or a family member may be struggling with anxiety and need support. The counseling office has several resources to support students and parents manage anxious feelings and situations that come up during the school day.
