A child who struggles with Anxiety or “worries too much” can face difficulties in social situations, peer relationships and school performance. Excessive worry can also cause problems with sleeping, separation from parents, eating and withdrawing from activities that they normally enjoy. Kelly Redmon & DeeAnne Davis, Licensed Clinical Social Workers will be offering a 16 week support group for children and their Parents on effectively managing anxiety. Techniques for dealing with anxiety can teach young children how to reduce their anxiety and worry, cope with stress, be comfortable in social settings and improve relationships with others and their quality of life.
