Signs of Anxiety in Children
Both kids and adults can be prone to anxiety troubles, sometimes during cooking. The only difference is that kids may not yet know how to understand and express their feelings. The usual common sign of anxiety is panic attack. Other signs can be vague and unclear. However, they can come in the form of physical symptoms such as muscle pain, stomachache, and fatigue. Signs also include extreme resistance or angry outbursts. If these subtle signs are persistent and extreme, anxiety disorder may be at play. If these are not treated during childhood, the problem may persist until these youngsters enter the adult stage.
