Yeah, I use the words interchangeably, so there's there's a technical difference between
Worry and fear or anxiety and fear.
Fear is typically about something that's actually happening, and worry or anxiety is about something that you anticipate happening, something that might happen.
But for the purposes of my books, I use anxiety and worry in the same way.
Yeah, so worry is is really a perfectly normal phenomena.
It's the sign of an active, creative brain that's taking in experiences and trying to make sense of them.
So it absolutely is not our goal to do away with all worry.
What becomes problematic is when kids worry about something.
So they begin to think about something that might go wrong or might be problematic or dangerous.
in some way and they immediately assume that that's accurate, like that this just because they're thinking about something or anticipating something, it is an actual danger.
and then they start acting based on that assumption.
That's where the problem comes in.
So it's not as if kids who have trouble with anxiety
necessarily have more anxious thoughts.
It's more that they believe them and they act on them.
And that's the part that's problematic.
Correct.
Yeah, so what parents will notice is that um kids are really repetitive in their concerns.
Anxious kids often do lots of reassurance seeking or avoidance and typically have trouble doing things that come more easily to other children.
They have trouble doing those things because they're nervous about them, although sometimes they'll say, that's boring, or I just don't like such and such, rather than directly linking it to feeling afraid.
