How to Support our Children with Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal emotion that everyone feels at some stage in their lives. A little bit of anxiety can be useful in life and keeps us motivated and alert. If anxiety gets too much or too big, it can make us feel "afraid" and can show in our children's bodies physically as a tummy ache, ear or headache or as dizziness for example. Anxiety can start to impact the 5 aspects of our wellbeing and affect children's emotions, mental health and stop them from doing things in life because they are worrying too much.

How to Suppor Anger Management in Children from NSPCC

Every year many thousands of children are referred to Childline for anger issues. Anger management in children is one of the top mental health concerns in childcare. Anger and the ability to control it are key skills of adulthood. Violent thoughts frequently bubble underneath human interactions. Anger is the quickest way for those thoughts to become reality. For this reason it is tightly regulated in our society. Children must learn to overcome anger so that they do not fall a foul of strict controls on violent conduct. However, this is difficult for children to learn to manage since anger is remarkably powerful. Yet as parents and teachers there is no choice but to teach them to reign these emotions in. This can be hard knowledge to impart, but the NSPCC has produced helpful resources to aid you in that vital mission.
