    Hidden Anxiety: 7 Ways it looks like Something Else

    In episode 53 of Superstar Practical Strategies, Deb talk about hidden anxiety among children is surprisingly high, undoubtedly because it often masquerades as something else. And without understanding what they're dealing with, the adults in a child's life are often not equipped to handle it in the best way for the child. Anxiety arises when the amygdala, a small organ in the center of the brain, sends out signals chemical signals intended to give a person extra speed or strength in times of danger. It puts the whole body on high alert as it goes into "flight, fight, or freeze" mode whenever it perceives a threat. But anxiety doesn't often wave a banner and announce its presence, especially in children. And unless a parent or carer knows what to look for, what is essentially a cry for help may go unrecognized. So, what does hidden anxiety look like? (It's important to remember that each child is different and anxiety patterns are not uniform).

    Technology Anxiety: Helping Kids Cope with the Transition to the Classroom

    Technology anxiety is real amongst children and young people who have been in lockdowns, back to face-to-face returning to the classroom and another change coming up - back into school holidays and the threat of the Omicron arriving in countries all over the world. During the last 2 years, most children have been learning online or through an increased amount of screen time rather than face-to-face. For children with anxiety or worries about the problems in the world, this has often been less stressful than engaging in activities in the real world. But what about when they return to face-to-face learning for a short time, and then back into school holidays shortly? And what is technology anxiety, anyway?
