✏️ Rescue remedy. Immediately calms the nervous system. Place a few drops in the mouth or dilute in water. Safe for all ages
✏️ Chamomile tea. Add a little honey to soothe nervous tummies and calm anxiety.
✏️ Practice mindfulness. Research shows that teaching children from a young age how to be in the moment decreases anxiety, worries, distress and poor behaviours. It also increases focus, self-esteem, and awareness. When children (and adults) put emphasis on future events, it creates anxiety. Staying focused on the present can help to decrease these tensions.
If your child’s anxiety is increasing, speak to a medical professional.
