Anxiety is a common emotion we have all experienced.      At some stage in their life every individual will feel anxious when faced with a difficult situation. Sweating, increased heart rate, shallow breathing, butterflies in the stomach, and a dry mouth, are typical symptoms of anxiety.                  All children experience anxiety, as part of their normal development.

However what may be considered an appropriate fear at an early stage of development, for instance a fear of the dark at age three, or a fear of going to school in the first year, may be considered less appropriate, when a child reaches adolescence.

In other words, an individual’s age must be taken into account when thinking about anxiety responses.

Homeopathic remedies are very helpful  in this area, regardless of the cause,by enabling coping mechanisms to come into play or by allowing the "fear" to slide into the background.

Some of the first response remedies are

Calc Phos 30

One of the first remedies for those insignificant symptoms that are still enough to keep your child home from school. Nothing worth a doctors visit of course.. sore tummy and maybe a headache and your child just "knows" going to school will make it worse!

Gelsemium 30

Are there exams / tests/assignments due today? Anticipation always presents a problem for the young Gelsemium , often complains that everything is too hard. they are afraid to try new things so new schools/classes  can cause them alot of emotional stress If you are not able to obtain information from your child but are aware of their anxiety levels this is a good remedy to give

Argentum Nitricum 30

Often a nervy child and awaiting events or trying new things causes  alot of stress. Often accompanied with lots of wind and diarohea

Lycopodium 30

Often this is the child who appears overconfident and sometimes a bit lacking in compassion for others, but as a parent you are aware that this is their way of covering up. Because they do not want to fail or look foolish in front of others they can often appear overconfident. However they often do perform well and in reality have little need to be anxious.

Aconite 30

This can be agony for any parent whose child suffers these symptoms, they look scared they cant sit still and they can show real distress breathing can be a problem. Often, but not always these symptoms appear to be a huge overeaction to the task that is in front of them

Arsenicum 30

Give this Homeopathic medicine when your child is very restless and insecure with their anxiety. They appear exhausted for no physical reason and you are aware that is directly related to the turmoil linked to their anxiety.

** As always if situations are occuring  more than once or twice, we suggest that you engage the help of a professional homeopath
