Welcome to the Childhood Collective Blog

To be honest, my anxiety has been around for most of my life, but it all came painfully to the surface.

The CDC estimates that 7% of children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with anxiety. 

Anxiety is the emotion we feel when we are faced with PERCEIVED danger.

We were interviewed by Special Education and Civil Rights attorneys, Amanda and Vickie.

Help your child identify where they are feeling worries in their body. Those feelings are anxiety.

And once in a pattern of refusal, it can be very hard to work your way out. But it is possible!

The average child get their first smartphone is 10.3 years old…and that age is getting younger.

Ask your child is, “Is this someone you would feel comfortable talking to if you wanted to talk?”

To learn that their fears don’t come true, your child must put themselves in the feared situation.

Each time we avoid, we are saying to anxiety, “I believe you.” This makes it grow bigger.
