Further information:
It’s normal for everyone to feel anxious from time to time – it’s a typical response to stress. However, some young people may experience uncontrollable levels of anxiety that are excessive in relation to what’s happening around them, and can therefore struggle with their day-to-day tasks and schoolwork.
Common worries can become overwhelming for children and young people with anxiety leading to them becoming quite distressed. If this does happen there are a few ways in which you can respond to try and calm the situation.
Some signs and symptoms to look out for include tears when entering school, being withdrawn from their peers, concentration difficulties, fidgeting, changes in appetite, and irritability.
Children sometimes struggle to identify and express their thoughts and emotions, which can lead to anxiety. Therefore, exploring how anxiety can make you feel and behave can be helpful – for example, planning lessons themed around anxiety. This may help children understand that feeling anxious is a normal emotion that everyone feels from time to time.
