What is anxiety and how does it present in children?

Anxiety is abnormal or irrational fear, worry, or concern which affects a child’s everyday functioning. It can present at school, in a one-on-one setting, and or at home. It manifests differently for every child, yet there are some symptoms that are commonly observed. These behaviors can negatively impact a child’s relationships, academic performance, self-perception, and emotional state.

Mild anxiety can help a child channel their anxiety into positive behaviors such as studying for a test, however when anxiety impacts function then it is no longer a coping mechanism and requires professional guidance to help cope.

What can contribute to a child’s anxiety?

Anxiety in children can come from a variety of factors, including:

  • Traumatic birth history
  • Difficult home/school situation
