Fear and Anxiety in Children: What's Normal and What's Not
Description
Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.
In today’s episode, we explore the very real topic of fear and anxiety in children. As you well know, every person at every age has moments of fear. Consider how many times Scripture tells us, “Do not be afraid.” For children specifically, each new developmental age brings up common fears as they are learning to discover the world around them and their place in it. But how do we know what’s normal, and what’s not? And when should parents be concerned?
