My eight year old daughter is dealing with anxiety.
She had it from birth basically.
Very sensitive, avoids social interactions, negative thoughts ("what is the feeling doesn't go away?") And other hallmarks of anxiety.
We try not to label her, get to speak about what she's feeling, try to give her tools to cope.
But as a parent, seeing this unfold time and time again, each time with some new trigger is tough.
Has anyone gone through something similar with their children and has some advice about what helps and what doesn't help, would love to hear
- kar5pt 4y agoI dont mean to criticize, but how is this different from a normal kid? Being shy as an 8 year old seems normal. The "negative thoughts" could be because she's picked up that you're concerned about her feelings which makes her think about them more.
