ANXIETY
What does it feel like?

Children and teens experience anxiety:

Physically:
"Why does my head hurt all the time?"
or
"Why do I have stomach aches before school every day?"

Mentally:
"What if nobody likes me?"

or
"Don't leave me with the babysitter"

Behaviorally:
"I don't want to go to school"

or
"I want to sleep in your room, mommy"
