Anxiety in children, be that short or long term, commonly with difficulties in sleeping, upset  and the child worrying about issues both in and out of school is a growing issue across all schools up and down the country.

Below is a link to a web-site created by the CHILDREN'S SOCIETY that gives some ideas on how to recognise and support your child.

It has some good ideas and even if it is just a reassurance that you are doing the right things it is a useful tool.
