For Children
This bit of the website is for kids. Some of it you might read with a grown-up, some of it on your own. A few of the sheets are about feelings, a few are about school, and a few are about the kind of stuff that can be hard to say out loud. You don't have to read all of it. Just find the one that looks a bit like your life.
Understanding your Anxious Feelings
Anxiety is the name for the worried, jumpy, “butterflies in your tummy” feeling that everyone gets sometimes. You might notice it before a test, when meeting new people, or in situations that feel uncertain or new.
Feeling anxious from time to time is normal. But some children feel anxious more often, even when nothing dangerous is happening. If this sounds like you, you are not alone, and there are ways to help.
