Understanding Your Child's Anxiety
Is your child acting out at school? As a parent, it's frustrating and heartbreaking when behavior problems seem to come out of nowhere. But often, these outburts are signs of something deeper...like anxiety.
Did you know?
> 30% of adolescents 13-18 have experienced an anxiety disorder
Even more concerning is that 80% of those with a immediate need ... are not getting help.
So what can you do to help?
Open up a conversation. Let your child know that you’re there to listen without judgement. An open ear and open mind can do wonders.
Set a consistent routine at home to provide a sense of security and stability. We all feel better when we know what to expect.
Collaborate with your child’s teachers to get a full understanding of what’s happening in the classroom. So much goes on during the day, and they can be your a helpful source of truth.
And don't wait. Take action early.
It's easy to brush off these behaviors, hoping they'll resolve themselves on their own. But addressing anxiety early can make a significant difference in your child's emotional health...now, and for the rest of their lives.
