Easing Children's Anxiety

Anxiety is normal and part of everyday life. There’s no better time than childhood to learn how to cope with anxiety. None of us wants to see a child unhappy, but the best way to help children overcome anxiety ISN’T to try to remove stressors that trigger it. It’s to help them learn to tolerate their anxiety and function as well as they can, even when they’re anxious. The anxiety will decrease or fall away over time as a result of this strategy.
