Does Your Child Have an Anxiety Disorder?
Does Your Child Have An Anxiety Disorder? originally appeared on Babble.com. Jan knew she couldn't be late for work again, but her daughter Emily was making it increasingly difficult to get out the door on time. The 6-year-old simply did not want to go to school. Breakfast had become an ordeal and Emily frequently complained that she had a stomachache. She was missing the bus several days a week, and driving her to school was making Jan late. Emily would cling tightly to her mother's arm and beg to go home as Jan practically dragged her to class. "Honey, you'll be OK," Jan would tell Emily. "I know you love Mrs. Hernandez ...
