It is not unusual for children to sometimes feel anxious. When starting a new school, a child might worry about making friends, or a young child might be afraid of the dark. However, if the anxiety a child experiences turns into something more serious like an anxiety disorder, it may begin to interfere with many areas of their life and their family’s lives. Children do not always have the language to express what they are feeling and even though they are being impacted by the anxiety, parents may not realize that anxiety is what they are dealing with.
