Anxiety isn’t just an adult struggle—many children experience it too, often before they can fully express their feelings. At The T.E.A. Center, we understand that emotional well-being is just as important as academic growth. That’s why we’re here to support both children and parents in recognizing early signs of anxiety and providing tools to help little ones feel safe and confident.
Early Signs of Anxiety in Children
Children express anxiety in different ways. Look out for:
🔹 Frequent worries or fears (about school, new experiences, or being away from parents)
🔹 Physical symptoms (stomachaches, headaches, or trouble sleeping)
🔹 Avoidance behaviors (refusing to go to school, avoiding social situations)
🔹 Irritability or clinginess (needing constant reassurance)
How Parents Can Help
- Validate Their Feelings – Let them know their worries are real and that it’s okay to feel anxious.
- Teach Coping Skills – Encourage deep breathing, mindfulness, and simple relaxation exercises.
- Read Books About Emotions – Storytelling can help children understand and normalize their feelings.
At The T.E.A. Center, we create a nurturing environment where children feel secure, build resilience, and develop social-emotional skills. If your child struggles with anxiety, our team is here to support you with resources and a caring community.
Let’s work together to help every child feel confident and ready to thrive!
