Does anyone have an anxious child? What helps??
My 7 yr old will stress over things, i can tell her logically “that won’t happen” but she just can’t seem to stop herself….like me if I’m anxious but obvs i just go over it in my head where as she says it all out loud 🙁
Has anyone given their kids or tried themselves with magnesium supliments?

  • Me. My daughter will be seven in Feb, she has always been quiet and shy towards anyone she isnt in constant contact with (her sisters are 16 & 14 and are confident and outgoing)
    I constantly reassure that it is okay to say what she feels etc and since starting school she has progressed a lot. But she is still a “sensitive” child ie we bought her a bike for christmas and she couldnt wait to try it out, but because we were all stood watching she just went back into the house, and thats ok. Some children are full of confidence, others arent. Just make sure you tell that its ok to feel whatever way shes feeling and that you are there for her. She’ll be fine x

  • try and do some anxiety excersizes with her, meditation is good, soothing music, maybe get some crystals to place around her room with some calming scents too, the best thing I’ve found is breathing excersizes and doodles I take 5 coloured pens or pencils, and draw a swirl on a page then I take the next colour and draw inside it and keep doing it till I’ve used all the colours it helps my mind calm itself while taking my mind off of the issue completly, also does she itch or fidget? if she does put a tight fitted top or heavy jumper on her or hold her on your lap and squeeze her tight for a while, the weight of someone or something holding you can make a world of difference to anxiety I’ve suffered with it since I was about 5 and I still suffer now but the best thing to do.is find something that works for her to calm her because telling her it’s ok or it won’t happen etc won’t make it go away her mind will still run

  • Give your child squash with no sugar, orange juice is the better one. 🙂 it’ll really help.

  • I have a 3 year old son who is anxious about things. He rocks lots when he is anxious too or stands and rocks side to side. He starts school in September and I worry as he is fine at home and with his older sister but when we go places he worries about things he shouldn’t especially at his age.
    He’s quite a nervous and anxious little boy it took me a year to settle him in to preschool properly and he still gets anxious if people visit the preschool he doesn’t know etc xx

  • Rather than say things “arent going to happen” or “not to worry” or “dont be silly..” etc always emphasis positives and come up with solutions rather than negatives ie ” dont be silly its not going to happen ..”
