Anxiety Activities for Children
There is no question that anxiety is on the rise in America's youth.

Children are not only seeing these worries played out in society, but they are also absorbing them as well. As a result, childhood diagnoses of anxiety disorders are on the rise.

Since I'm only 20 years old, the doctor recommended multiple different ways of coping with my anxiety, rather than prescribing me Xanax or any other drugs. One of the ways she had mentioned was journaling. I kind of just overlooked that option since that has never been something I've been into. But as I was scrolling through Instagram, I came across an ad for this website and I thought that maybe, since I'm (unfortunately) starting this new journey with anxiety, I should try something new to help cope with it.
