Not Alone Radio Program, Nov 23: Childhood Anxieties
About 13 of every 100 youth between ages 9 and 17 experience some kind of anxiety disorder, some more than one. To some people these fears may seem silly, or out of proportion, but to the person experiencing them those fears and worries are very real, very consuming and immobilizing. Coping with such a heavy load takes its toll on a young person; some fear going to school because of what could happen at home while they are away. They are sometimes anxious about a family member or a pet. Others fear leaving the house and attending school because of bullying, or extreme lack of confidence in school performance.
