Deep dives

Reasons for Children's Anxiety

One of the main reasons children are experiencing high levels of anxiety is due to the energetic environment they are growing up in. The world is becoming more anxious, exacerbated by factors like COVID and increasing disconnection between individuals. Additionally, children are born into a sensitive world with intense energy, leading to more emotional dysregulation and conditions like autism. Another reason is the decline in the development of the social engagement system, caused by excessive screen time and limited face-to-face interactions. The lack of emotional connection and empathy further contributes to anxiety and other mental health issues among children.
