Generalized anxiety in children can manifest in various ways. Look out for signs such as excessive worrying, difficulty separating from parents or home, reluctance to engage in social activities, and a tendency to avoid new experiences. Children with generalized anxiety may also be self-critical and use negative language when talking about themselves. If you notice these consistent behaviors in your child, it's likely that their anxiety is more general in nature. Remember, anxiety can shrink a child's world, and it's important to provide them with the tools to manage their anxious thoughts. #GeneralizedAnxiety #ChildMentalHealth #AnxietySymptoms #ParentingSupport #AnxietyManagement #childmentalhealth #parentsupport #childanxiety #teenanxiety #parenteducation

RECOGNIZING AND MANAGING CHILDHOOD ANXIETY For a long time, it was believed that children did not experience #anxiety or #depression and that those who seemed to were merely malingering or seeking attention. This is no longer the case. Recent research shows that as many as 8 to 11% of #children and adolescents suffer from anxiety. For many #parents, it can be difficult to spot the signs of anxiety in a child as it can show up in different ways. They are unsure about when a child’s behaviour is something for them to worry about, or whether it is a fairly normal behaviour for children of that age. Many parents are not sure whether to be concerned when a usually talkative 8-year-old becomes withdrawn and preoccupied or when a teenage child suddenly begins to refuse to leave their room.

Parents should make conscious efforts to avoid conflict in front of children. Fighting between parents can cause emotional trauma and mental unrest in children from a young age. Children observe how their parents resolve conflicts and model that behavior as they grow. Parents must keep their fights private and resolve issues respectfully to teach children better coping skills and a healthy approach to disagreements. #mentalhealth #childdevelopment #familyconflict
