Welcome to the Childhood Collective Blog

Up to 80% of children with ADHD have at least one other diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, autism, or learning difficulties.

Are worry thoughts stopping your child in their tracks and keeping them from fun?

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!

Ask your child, “Is this someone you would feel comfortable talking to if you’re ready?”

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