Every child experiences moments of anxiety—whether it’s nerves before a big test or fear of public speaking. But when a child’s anxiety escalates to the point where it starts impacting their daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.
For example, if your child begins to avoid certain situations, people, or activities because of intense fear, it could be a sign that their anxiety is becoming unmanageable. When these fears interfere with their health or social development—such as extreme weight loss due to a fear of food—it’s important to intervene early. A therapist or coach can help your child learn strategies to cope with anxiety, reduce their fears, and regain a sense of control over their life.
