Kids and Anxiety
Kids don't have it as good as we might want to think. They have problems in school when peers tease them, when they find they don't have the ability to do certain schoolwork or sports, when they are disappointed or feel scared and alone. Childhood is a demanding time and, for some children, it is a time of significant anxiety, sufficient enough at times to make them refuse to go to school, to leave the house or play with friends. Help a child find their joy and you will have done your work for a lifetime.
