Anxiety doesn’t always sound like fear.
And it doesn’t always show up as worry.
In kids, anxiety often shows up in the body first -
stomach aches, headaches, poor sleep, panic, or unexplained symptoms that keep cycling.
That’s because anxiety isn’t just a thought problem.
It’s often a nervous system stuck in survival mode.
When the body doesn’t feel safe, it sends signals even when everything looks fine from the outside. And no amount of logic or reassurance can override that physiology.
Nothing is wrong with your child.
Their nervous system is asking for support.
