Understanding our kids’ physical health is one thing. Tuning in to their emotions can be quite another.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the number of children with a diagnosable anxiety disorder is now up to a staggering 25 percent. As we’re now a few weeks into a brand new school year, this might be a good time to pause and check in on the anxiety levels of the kids in our lives.
In this episode of Total Health Radio, we explore key questions around anxiety in children. In what way do symptoms of anxiety look different in a child than in an adult? How do we differentiate between a high level of stress and something more serious? How do we help our kids identify triggers? And importantly, we look at how we can best help our kids by becoming aware of – and getting a handle on – our own anxieties.
