I love the way you put that - "Anxiety or stress does not respect age." Too true. We wish a stress-free life for our children so hard that we sometimes convince ourselves it is true. Unfortunately, in most cases, it isn't. The parent the the 'first line of defense,' so to speak in teaching children how to handle stress and anxiety. That in and of itself will help ensure that they know how to make better decisions. Without guidance in life, children tend to flounder, and that is equally true of poor guidance in handling stress and anxiety. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us!

I agree Nerea. Let children learn how to relieve stress while still young. The practices taught will become a way of life as they grow.

It is indeed unfortunate that parents/guardians are at times part of the problem. By not listening and dealing with the child's anxieties, the child learns to hold it in. The anxieties are not trivil to a child and they should be taught how to deal with them.

I disagree, children are not old enough to discern stress and anxiety. Parents have a role to guide and take their kids to a doctor when they realize they have a problem. If children will only receive assurance from their parents, they may end up growing without the moral mettle required to face the real world out there. Dismissal, or in a better word, correction, is granted for actions or behaviors that parents deem wrong.
