Anxiety in Kids - What to Look For

Anxiety in children doesn’t always look like fear or worry. Sometimes it looks like anger, tummy aches, clinginess, meltdowns, avoiding things, trouble sleeping, or behaviour that seems to come out of nowhere.

In this video, I explain what anxiety actually is, why it happens, and some of the different ways it can show up in children — so you can begin to recognise what might be happening underneath the behaviour.

Because when we understand what a child’s behaviour is trying to tell us, we can respond with connection, curiosity and the support they really need.

In this video:

• What anxiety is

• Why children experience anxiety

• Common signs of anxiety in children

• How anxiety can disguise itself as “difficult” behaviour

• What your child may actually be communicating
