Children need time, most of all, to build resilience

Lancaster Online – Dr. Pia Fenimore

Pediatricians are seeing epidemic-level numbers of children and teens with anxiety disorders and physical problems related to anxiety.  I currently estimate that more than 25 percent of the problems I discuss with parents and children in a day are stress-related. Anxiety presents in so many ways in kids: school avoidance, sleep problems, headaches, panic attacks, depressed mood and stomach pains are only a few ways that kids can show their stress. https://lancasteronline.com/opinion/columnists/children-need-time-most-of-all-to-build-resilience/article_a75111d4-2b10-11e9-be2c-c371d9b5f2a8.html
