Q1. What does #anxiety look like in kids? #ldchat https://t.co/JWzMlrpxkB
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
A1. In kids, anxiety looks like insomnia, nail biting/picking, hair pulling, difficulties focusing, irritability, isolating themselves, school refusal. Some anxiety signs aren’t as noticeable - it’s important that we check in w/ kids to see how they are feeling. #ldchat https://t.co/LHFTP9fLEV

Here are just 4 common signs of #anxiety in kids. #ldchat https://t.co/zDwInV8TK6
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@UnderstoodOrg First, letting your kid know that you want to listen w/o judgment. Using a "feeling chart" for younger kids is helpful, they can point to what feeling they are having. Also letting them know lots of other kids can feel this way too. #ldchat
Edie Brown @edielovesmath
@StephanieSarkis @UnderstoodOrg Thanks. Older kids and adults need support too. #LDchat
Kelly @KellyBrown374
#anxiety looks like lack of sleep, unable to focus, easily frustrated, arguing, refusing to talk. #LUlearns #LDchat https://t.co/bKYE8iddvL
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@ChurchillSchool Yes, very true. The ones I listed are the most common signs. #ldchat
Understood @UnderstoodOrg
@edielovesmath @StephanieSarkis I actually have a resource that may be helpful. Stay tuned... #ldchat
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@KellyBrown374 Absolutely, @KellyBrown374. Difficulty getting to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, getting up too early in the morning and can't get back to sleep. Also falling asleep in class. #ldchat
Kelly @KellyBrown374
A1: I totally agree. I think it's important to be aware of all of your students behaviors so you know immediately if something is wrong. #LDchat #LUlearns https://t.co/BlSKznPKo5

@KellyBrown374 Yes, open communication with parents is essential, including asking parents if there are any stressors going on in the child's life (death in the family, new baby, etc.) #ldchat
Kelly @KellyBrown374
I also think that having a safe space in the school or a person they feel connected with helps. Sometimes all kids need is something to listen. #LDchat #LUlearns https://t.co/KDMu0XPHJI

Q2. How is typical #anxiety or stress different than an anxiety problem? #ldchat https://t.co/mgsUWwZx5H
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@KellyBrown374 This is so important, @KellyBrown374. Some schools I have worked with have a "low sensory" room for kids who are having panic attacks, migraines, and other medical issues. #ldchat
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
A2. (1/3) Everyone has anxiety, it is a normal reaction to stress. However, when the anxiety doesn’t go away, is out of proportion to the stressor, or if it comes on with no known reason, then it may qualify for an anxiety diagnosis. #ldchat https://t.co/uLMKC6lSPq

Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@AndrewLStreeter Yes, studies have found there is even a genetic component to PTSD. At least 1 genetic marker make some people more prone to developing PTSD after a trauma than others. This marker is more common in people w/ #ADHD. #ldchat

Q3. Why might certain learning and attention issues, like #ADHD or #dyslexia, cause anxious feelings in kids? #ldchat https://t.co/RuJ8zwlefg
Ben Graefser @RoscoeBen18
A1: Very true. I've had kids in my classroom that coped with anxiety in many different forms and some of them hid it from others. #LUlearns #ldchat https://t.co/ID8uoIGq5m
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
A3. (1/3) When you have #LD/ #ADHD, you have to work 5x as hard, but only get ½ the amount of work done. Instead of playing after school, you are still working on homework – very isolating. Also, kids may be isolated or bullied at school. #ldchat https://t.co/fbOzQeuZdD
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
A3. (2/3) And what worse feeling is there for a kid with ADHD/LD than to be called on in class to read or do a math problem? You may also be called out in class for not paying attention. And then you get a frowny face on the board. #ldchat
