While many do not realize it, children in elementary school suffer from anxiety as well. They face bullying, teasing, demands of parents and teachers, and many more problems. Despite children being at such a young age, they also face many challenges each and every day that they go to school. Parents should understand what anxiety is and recognize what to do when their child experiences it. Changing the subject, getting out of the house for a while, or having stress relievers are all effective ways to help them cope with anxiety. Children look to their parents for relief and compassion when facing the trials and challenges of their young lives. Being informed as a parent is the first step to helping them face these challenges and overcome them.
