When to get help from Worry Matters
Worry Matters can be trusted to help your child if anxiety is causing them distress or limiting their life. Anxiety shows itself in many ways. For example, your child may be:
- preoccupied and distracted by their worries and unable to think about much else.
- caught in repetitive ‘what if’ worry patterns about things that could go wrong in the future.
- avoiding stressful situations, which may be having an impact on family life.
- seeking constant reassurance from you or checking that things are ok (e.g. doors are locked).
- experiencing difficulties with their sleep, eating patterns or toileting.
- more irritable, angry or frustrated, or experiencing sudden and intense emotional outbursts or panic attacks.
You may have noticed that you have also made changes to your own behaviour. For example, you may have:
- changed your family’s sleeping patterns or night-time routines.
- started to avoid certain places or situations for fear of upsetting your child.
- found yourself repeatedly answering your child’s questions or providing constant reassurance.
- used reassurance, empathy, logic and even anger to help your child to no avail.
If any of the above sounds familiar, we are pleased that you’ve found us. Getting the right specialist help for you and your child is the absolute priority. We would welcome a free telephone discussion with you to understand more about your child’s anxiety as well as your priorities for seeking support. We will do everything we can to help you feel comfortable and safe to share your concerns with us.
Equip your child with the right tools to transform their worry, stress and anxiety now, and in the future.
