This may happen during exams or special presentations, some important departure, conflicts in which they are included or when they feel threatened, so it is necessary that as parents or adults in charge, we are alert to any change in behavior. Some signs that may indicate that something is happening, is that they show more restless than they really are, that they have difficulties to sleep, decrease their academic performance, that they are worried about many things and when talking with him they can not control it, or who simply states that he does not want to go to school.

It is important that we teach them to handle their anxieties, because this directly influences their development, in this sense we can support them with these suggestions that I leave.

Understanding that the child can feel emotions that produce anxiety, without judging him, we must see what affects him from his point of view and not ours. Help him to understand his emotional states, as we all have the right to feel happy, it is also normal to feel nervous, the important thing of this is not to be dominated by the emotion that these nerves generate. That our level of demand towards them is proportional to their level mature and increase it as it develops, demand more stress and anxiety. If we observe that any situation generates anxiety, find a space for relaxation that allows you to drain, so that you understand that it will not help. at home a calm and pleasant climate and more when the child is anxious about an activity. Talk with him about the topic, activity or situation that makes him react in that way, ask him how he feels at school, before his friends and offer you tools to solve without traumas.Conversate with your teacher about what is generating that anxiety, and work together to achieve peace of mind iño

While it is true that behavior change is an alert, it is important to be clear, that they are children and by nature are restless, they discover, experience and play; every father knows his son and when he is aware of his actions he knows how to identify when his behavior denotes anxiety and when it is normal.

Remember, then, that our children are vulnerable beings and if we do not offer them the right tools, difficulties may arise later, so let us accompany them in all their stages, be alert, they need to gain their own trust, so that in the future they will be safe and dominated individuals. of the situations that they have to live.
