This is a great article that clearly explains what anxiety is, why it causes changes in our bodies and how it makes us feel. As well, it gives suggestion about how to talk to kids about it. The explanation is geared for kids but it really helped me have a clearer understanding of why is going on in the brain and how it impacts physical symptoms, such as an upset stomach, which are common with kids. 

I plan to use this language with my daughter to see if it helps as her anxiety seems to be increasing lately. I will share those experiences in a future post. I think this article is great for parents and educators as it offers a clear way to talk to kids about anxiety.
