Child Therapy

Grow Confidence, Restore Calm

Anxiety is hard, for kids and parents alike.

You miss your child’s smile and kind nature that seem to have disappeared, leaving you unsure how to help.

In elementary years, child anxiety might look like constant worries about upcoming tests, panic around separating from you, or frequent stomachaches and headaches with no medical cause.

You might notice them avoiding social situations, struggling to make friends, or becoming easily overwhelmed by changes in routine.

You see the worry in their eyes—the fight to hold back tears amid feelings of shame, panic, and overwhelm. Recognizing these signs of childhood anxiety is the first step toward support and healing.

What Are Common Signs of Child Anxiety?

Child anxiety can affect a child’s daily life in many ways. Here are some common signs:

Frequent refusal of school or social activities due to fear or stress
Excessive worries about routine events or fear of separation from parents
Physical symptoms like stomachaches, headaches, or trouble sleeping without a clear medical cause
Emotional outbursts, tantrums, or irritability when routines change or stress increases
Clinging to parents or caregivers more than usual
Difficulty concentrating, restlessness, or being easily fatigued

As a parent you may feel overwhelmed or anxious while trying to support your child. This is a normal part of the process. Early recognition of these signs can lead to helpful support and effective treatment for your child’s well-being.
