anxiety

Dear Anxiety, I see you.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 8 years old.  I knew something was different from the moment he was born.

It’s hard being an anxious kid. You already have to worry about making friends and doing well in school, and then you add anxiety? It doesn’t seem fair.

Anxiety is no joke. The amount of times per week that I have to talk myself back down from a panic cannot be counted on one hand, let alone two. Everything about motherhood is extra.

When your child is in need of tension relief, parents can help by trying one of these techniques to calm them down.

It’s not surprising that when I faced adversity in the 7th grade, I turned to the power of the Force.

Does your kid worry a lot? Or maybe, your kid throws tantrums — epic meltdowns that leave you shocked at his intense reaction?

A study published in JAMA Pediatrics has found that taking antidepressants during pregnancy increases the child's risk of autism by 87 percent.

Also commonly called "Momnesia", walking into a room and forgetting why you went there, or just plain feeling like your brain doesn't work anymore.

The tears came after I left my doctor's office and finally realized that my head isn't getting better.

I got sidetracked and did some research about my nail biting. What I found out put a new perspective on it, and gave me newed reason to quit.

Sometimes I need a hug or a cry or a prayer or a VHS tape viewing of Fried Green Tomatoes. But always, always, I feel better with a new coat of paint on my toenails.
