Understanding Types of Anxiety in Children
Anxiety is a normal part of being human, serving as a built-in system to detect potential problems. However, not all anxiety is harmful; it is crucial for parents to distinguish between typical anxiety and anxiety that requires intervention. Typical anxiety can actually be beneficial and adaptive, helping children prepare for challenges, while prohibitive anxiety may hinder their ability to navigate social situations or daily activities.
