The intensity or sudden onset can be scary for any adult. What if it\u2019s our children\u2019s anxiety at that level?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As parents, we do all we can to help our children navigate through life issues. And when it comes to nervousness and all that triggers it, we often try different ways to get rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, we may be going about it all wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>[Anxiety] is not to be gotten rid of,<\/em>\u201d explains Renee Jain, founder of GoZen! and co-author of <em>Superpowered<\/em>, in an interview on The Mindvalley Podcast.

It shows up as muscle tension or avoidance behavior, whereas fear is more about the fight or flight response \u2014 either staying to fight or taking flight to escape danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every feeling we have is a messenger. We can sit with the feeling, and the moment we allow the feeling to rise up, we start to decode the message that the anxiety\u2019s sending.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Renee Jain, founder of GoZen! and co-author of <em>Superpowered: Transform Anxiety into Courage, Confidence, and Resilience<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the thing is, this feeling is a natural response to stress. That makes it, as with other emotions, a normal feeling to have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-contributes-to-children-s-anxiety\">What contributes to children\u2019s anxiety?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no one specific reason for it to show up for anyone, even little humans. However, there are a number of factors that play a role in shifting <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/happy-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">happy children<\/a> into anxious ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Genetics and brain chemistry.<\/strong> If a family member suffers from an anxiety disorder, it could possibly contribute to the children inheriting genes that make them prone to this emotional response. Those genes help direct the way the brain\u2019s neurotransmitters work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Life situations.<\/strong> Life happens, and stressful events, like loss, serious illness, death of a loved one, violence, or abuse, can definitely contribute to anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learned behaviors.<\/strong> Children learn by copying their parents. So if fear or worry is commonplace in the household, it \u201cteaches\u201d the offspring to be anxious, fearful, or depressed, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parenting styles.<\/strong> Some styles of parenting can put more stress on the young ones than not. This includes <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/authoritarian-vs-authoritative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authoritarian<\/a> (using strict, harsh behavior with children) and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/neglectful-parenting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">neglectful parenting<\/a> (lack of responsiveness to the children\u2019s needs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though having anxiety can be scary at times, it can be of benefit in some situations. For example, that sudden feeling of dread you may feel in an intense situation can be an alert to danger. It can be a warning to help you pay attention and prepare for whatever may happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>There\u2019s nothing wrong with you,<\/em>\u201d says Renee. \u201c<em>You worry, you\u2019re anxious \u2014 that\u2019s okay. That\u2019s part of being human.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when the emotion becomes excessive, that\u2019s when it can turn into something more serious (for example, panic, separation anxiety, or social anxiety disorder). That can lead to children\u2019s depression and other mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much so that one in five children reported having an anxiety disorder, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapediatrics\/fullarticle\/2782796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meta-literature review<\/a> published in <em>JAMA Pediatrics.<\/em> And with the negative influences of social media, firearm-related fatalities, and a global pandemic, it\u2019s something that affects millions of young people in the United States now more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-anxiety-affect-children-s-learning\">How does anxiety affect children\u2019s learning?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children with anxiety may be uncomfortable in social settings, like school. And when it\u2019s chronic, can disrupt the brain\u2019s development, leading to lifelong consequences in emotional regulation, thought processes, and working memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Persistent-Fear-and-Anxiety-Can-Affect-Young-Childrens-Learning-and-Development.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paper<\/a> published by Harvard University\u2019s National Scientific Council on the Developing Child states, \u201c<em>For young children who perceive the world as a threatening place, a wide range of conditions can trigger anxious behaviors that then impair their ability to learn and to interact socially with others.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this emotion affecting the brain as it does, it\u2019s more likely that anxious children are easily distracted. And it\u2019ll take a whole process of unlearning for them to be indistractable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify-anxiety-in-children\">How to identify anxiety in children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big feelings can be overwhelming to deal with, especially as a youngster who doesn\u2019t have the understanding and tools to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anxiety, for instance, shows up very similarly with low blood sugar levels. Or panic could be mistaken for anxiety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>[Children] feel like they have to hide anger, sadness, negativity, guilt, worry\u2026part of their humanity,<\/em>\u201d says Renee. \u201c<em>They feel like they\u2019re not being successful at life because all they keep hearing from everybody is, <\/em>\u2018We just want you to be happy.<em>&#8216;<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So one of the first (and most important) steps is to recognize what it looks like and what your children would be experiencing to identify it properly. And here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/topics\/anxiety-disorders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signs and symptoms<\/a>, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signs-of-anxiety\">Signs of anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sign is the manifestation of a medical issue from an objective point of view. So if you suspect your children\u2019s having anxiety, here are some signs you can look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fidgety, wound-up, or on-edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easily and constantly fatigued<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having difficulty concentrating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irritable or easily agitated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having headaches, muscles aches, stomachaches, or unexplained pains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty controlling feelings of worry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having trouble falling or staying asleep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indulging in destructive habits, like overeating or staying on their devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty making eye contact or being around people they don\u2019t know<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worry excessively or irrationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The severity of anxiety varies from child to child. So ensure they know you\u2019re open and available for support without judgment if they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-symptoms-of-anxiety\">Symptoms of anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A symptom is the manifestation of a medical issue from a subjective point of view. Now, your children may not know what anxiety may show up as. So as a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/conscious-parenting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conscious parent<\/a>, here\u2019s what you can teach them to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restlessness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pounding or racing heart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trembling or tingling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chest pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feelings of impending doom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feelings of being out of control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-conscious or fear that people will negatively judge them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experience immediate panic attacks, when encountering a feared object or situation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember: if your youngster is struggling with anxiety, getting help from a health care provider is always advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-calm-children-s-anxiety-the-dos-and-don-ts\">How to Calm Children\u2019s Anxiety: The Dos and Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little humans are constantly learning about themselves, especially when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/understanding-self-regulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-regulation<\/a>. So here are some key dos and don\u2019ts to help with your children\u2019s anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dos\">The dos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All children are different \u2014 a technique that works for one may not work for another (even if both are your offspring). However, there are five <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/positive-parenting-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">positive parenting solutions<\/a> you can use to help your young ones when they\u2019re feeling anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-remind-them-that-feelings-are-normal\">1. Remind them that feelings are normal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not about getting rid of feelings as they surface. Rather, it\u2019s about how to raise your children to have a more positive relationship with their feelings.<br><br>Suppressing the emotions or brushing them aside can have dire consequences on their emotional well-being down the line. So teach your little human to identify them and sit with them as they arise. Sure, it\u2019ll be uncomfortable, but it, too, shall pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-teach-them-breathing-techniques\">2. Teach them breathing techniques<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/breathing-techniques-for-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breathwork is one of the best natural remedies for children\u2019s anxiety<\/a>. Now, while \u201c<em>just breathe<\/em>\u201d is great advice, to effectively gain its benefits, it requires practice.<br><br>One easy technique is called <strong>\u201cSmell the Flowers, Blow the Candle\u201d<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask your child to breathe in through their nose and \u201csmell the flowers\u201d for three seconds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then instruct them to breathe out through their mouth and \u201cblow the candle\u201d for five seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat three times (or as many times as necessary until they\u2019re in a calm state)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do this exercise with them until they\u2019ve mastered it. If this gets too easy for them, box breathing is a great one to advance to next. Here\u2019s one to help relieve stress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Relieve Stress with BOX BREATHING\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LGGlPsqcYuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Relieve Stress with BOX BREATHING<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-teach-them-how-to-use-positive-affirmations\">3. Teach them how to use positive affirmations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affirmations are short (and usually positive) statements said on the daily. It helps reprogram the mind to capture empowering beliefs, habits, and thought patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the phrase nanny Aibileen Clack teaches baby Mae Mobley in the movie, <em>The Help<\/em>? \u201c<em>You is kind, you is smart, you is important.<\/em>\u201d That\u2019s an example of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/positive-affirmations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">positive affirmation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-advise-them-to-keep-a-journal\">4. Advise them to keep a journal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A powerful way to vent out feelings is by writing them down. Journaling can help process stress,, trauma, and other related emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous research has shown that journaling can be beneficial for those suffering from anxiety and depression. One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0197455605000699?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a>, in particular, looked at 100 young adults who were asked to journal or draw a stressful experience for 15 minutes twice during one week. The results showed those who journaled saw a significant reduction in anxiety, depression, and hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So buy them a journal. And anytime they feel anxious, encourage them to write down how those emotions make them feel as well as what they think would make them feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-keep-learning-how-to-help-your-children\">5. Keep learning how to help your children<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As your little human grows, so will their wants, needs, the environment they\u2019re in, friends they keep, and so on and so forth. So keep growing as a parent by learning different methods and techniques that can help your little human with the stresses they\u2019ll face at different periods of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some amazing children\u2019s books about anxiety out there, like Renee and Dr. Shefali\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/getsuperpowered.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Superpowered: Transform Anxiety into Courage, Confidence, and Resilience<\/em><\/a>, as well as neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf\u2019s upcoming <em>How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/cleaning-up-your-mental-mess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mental Mess<\/em><\/a><em>: A Guide to Building Resilience and Managing Mental Health<\/em> (available for purchase in 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-don-ts\">The don\u2019ts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you may want to do everything in your power to take the hurt and pain away from your little one, you may do more damage than good. So here are a few things to steer clear of when helping your children with their anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-don-t-ask-leading-questions\">1. Don\u2019t ask leading questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encouraging your young ones to talk and express their feelings can be a big task. So it\u2019s best to ask open-ended questions instead of leading ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the leading questions like \u201c<em>Are you anxious about the big test?<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>Are you worried about the first day of school?<\/em>\u201d can cause bias and reinforce the anxiety instead of transforming it into something empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, reframe the questions to be open-ended, like \u201c<em>How do you think you did on the big test?<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>How are you feeling about the first day of school?<\/em>\u201d These types of inquiries require your children to really think about their feelings. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-don-t-belittle-their-anxious-feelings\">2. Don\u2019t belittle their anxious feelings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Don\u2019t be a crybaby<\/em>.\u201d \u201c<em>It\u2019s not a big deal.<\/em>\u201d \u201c<em>Don\u2019t dwell on it.<\/em>\u201d These are all very common responses parents often give their children. And it\u2019s called emotion dismissing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child is expressing worry or fear, dismissing them may just signal that their feelings aren\u2019t important and eliminate the stressors that cause them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-don-t-mollycoddle-them\">3. Don\u2019t mollycoddle them<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFeeling the feelings\u201d is uncomfortable, for sure. And the brain\u2019s \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode naturally wants to avoid any kind of discomfort and in doing so, it may help short term. However, it only reinforces your children\u2019s anxiety in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if your young one is upset and crying about going to the first day of kindergarten, you may say that it\u2019s okay for them to skip just one day (or another\u2026or another one after that\u2026). By not allowing them to experience the situation, they won\u2019t get the opportunity to learn an appropriate coping mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-don-t-escalate-the-situation\">4. Don\u2019t escalate the situation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s be real: you, as a parent, aren\u2019t immune to stressful situations, no more than your children are. And having to coach a youngster through big emotions, like anxiety, can undoubtedly get overwhelming. It\u2019s even more so when you yourself have never been taught to deal with your own emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when you let your anger, annoyance, or exasperation get the better of you, it\u2019s essentially telling your child that expressing their emotions will get them in trouble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not saying you\u2019re not allowed to make mistakes (you <em>are<\/em> human, after all). But be as patient as you can with your little one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-don-t-encourage-distractions\">5. Don\u2019t encourage distractions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your child\u2019s crying, it\u2019s easy to shove an iPad in their hands and press play to Peppa Pig. However, ask yourself what you\u2019re teaching them when you do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your child should be taught how to deal with their emotions. Without emotional resiliency, it can have negative consequences in their adult years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/0e8803c9-childrens-anxiety-mindvalley-pulse-02-midjourney-seo-team.webp\" alt=\"Supportive mother comforting her child, illustrating emotional security in children's anxiety.\" class=\"wp-image-76695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/0e8803c9-childrens-anxiety-mindvalley-pulse-02-midjourney-seo-team.webp 1456w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/0e8803c9-childrens-anxiety-mindvalley-pulse-02-midjourney-seo-team-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-great-change-starts-with-you\">Great change starts with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anxiety is never the problem; it&#8217;s the root cause underneath the anxiety.
