Full episode: https://youtu.be/orDlkOGaVSI

In this episode of Beehive Doc Talks, Dr. Blair Rolnick explores anxiety in elementary-aged children, highlighting signs and symptoms parents should be aware of. She emphasizes that while anxiety is a normal part of growth, persistent symptoms can impact daily activities and relationships. Symptoms may include excessive worrying, physical complaints like stomach aches and headaches, and behavioral signs like refusing school or seeking constant reassurance.

Dr. Rolnick suggests methods like validating feelings, gradual exposure to triggers, and teaching coping strategies to support anxious children. She underscores the importance of structured routines, modeling healthy stress management, and using storytelling for emotional processing. If anxiety impacts a child’s daily life, seeking professional help is crucial, with cognitive behavioral therapy and parent coaching as key interventions. By employing evidence-based strategies, parents can empower their children to manage anxiety and build resilience, shaping their lifelong emotional skills.
