Hello families and friends of Winters Flat Primary School,

Experiencing anxiety every now and again is a normal part of the human experience. Anxiety becomes a problem when the feelings persist, impacting on our wellbeing and preventing us from doing things that are important to us.

It is common for young children to experience a range of worries as they develop, such as being away from their parents or being in the dark.
When these worries persist over time and impact on children’s abilities to do activities common for their age, they may be experiencing anxiety. 

See this resource for how to support children with anxiety.
