Childhood Anxiety

FAQs

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear that can affect children’s daily lives.

There are four things to look for that are indicators of a problem.

1. Is the degree of anxiety significantly greater than the actual problem?

2. Is the experience of anxiety so strong that it feels out of control or overpowering?

3. Is the anxiety interfering to the extent it is keeping someone from living a “normal” life?

4. Is the anxiety persisting way past what would be expected?

How does the program help?

In general, anxiety programs are often designed for adults, and can include complex psychological language. For kids some programs can feel like a “chore” or make them uncomfortable or feel embarrassed about their situation. When the learning is boring or too complex, children participate less and seek ways to avoid. The key to a successful program is one that makes kids feel comfortable, is easy for them to understand, and is presented in a way that kids actually enjoy each session. The Turnaround program is unique in that it speaks directly to children using many different fictional characters to encourage them to learn to overcome their anxiety in a fun, unique and non-threatening way.
