In this episode of The Playful Psychologist, I chat about anxiety and children. Did you know that anxiety is the most common mental health diagnosis in children, and that 1 in 10 children experience high levels of anxiety? Even more concerning, is the statistic that 1 in every 14 young Australians (aged 4-14) have experienced an anxiety disorder! This episode will hopefully shine some light on childhood anxiety, by discussing the following:
- The difference between fear vs anxiety
- Signs of anxiety in children
- Causes of anxiety
- Different presentations of anxiety
I also answer the five most common questions asked of me in regards to anxiety!
