Helping Kids Cope: Navigating Anxiety in a Stressful World

Eastside Counseling Center / August 15, 2025

Watching our kids struggle with anxiety can be tough. As parents and caregivers, we all want to see our children thrive, but sometimes the outside world presents challenges that feel overwhelming. Whether it’s school pressures, social changes, or the constant chatter of the internet, there’s a lot for young minds to process these days. So, what can we do to support our kids as they navigate anxiety?

First, it’s important to let children know their feelings are valid. A simple “It’s okay to feel worried” can open the door to honest conversations. Encouraging kids to talk about what’s on their minds—whether it’s a difficult test or anxiety about making friends—helps them feel less alone. Sometimes, just being heard can make all the difference.
