Anxiety is among the most common mental health concerns in kids, and it can significantly impact their ability to function. Kids who worry excessively struggle to perform well at school, have difficulty making and maintaining friendships, and may miss out on many life-enriching activities. This anxiety can build up and manifest itself in the form of intense emotional outbursts and tantrums, often resulting in increased family turmoil. And this extreme worrying can also cause kids to avoid triggering situations, which only reinforces their inflexible thinking.

Once children learn how to respond to their worries effectively, they'll be more empowered and confident to face their fears head-on. Most importantly, kids will discover that they can safely partake in experiences that bring joy and a sense of fulfillment.
