What is anxiety and why do I worry?

[@drediggity8163]

Hi I am 9 years old and I am always scared that my mom is going to die. If I watch more of these videos just for kids it will help me get stronger and help me to not have anxiety thank you for posting these videos.

[@elifpilon]

We loved this! My 7 year old son HEARD you! He's afraid of wearing costumes, including his gym clothes. It sends him over the edge. He smiled when he heard you say that other kids have anxiety too and that he was not alone.

[@angelmattie1352]

Hope this comment finds you. Have you looked into Sensory processing disorder? I literally just found out my 5 year old might have it & that my 9 year old who has really bad anxiety, PSD might be the reason for the anxiety!!! I just wanted to share that with you from one Mama to another because until now I’ve never even heard of it. Hope & Pray your son is doing amazing.

[@carried1700]

I am 8 years old and I watched this video with my Mom! I have all of the anxieties like going to school and going to sleep at night and getting sick. The video helped me because it said some things I didn’t know about anxiety that can help me.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I’m glad it helped!

Carrie D I always get very scared , worried and I am eleven years old . Is it an anxiety ?

[@wenguilu5978]

[@Luxmind7]

My daughter watched your video before school this morning. It calmed her down so much. Can you talk about anxiety in regards to going to school. Her anxiety makes her cry and it makes her feel embarrassed around her peers and teachers.

[@meganrobins4294]

My 7 year old daughter has been struggling for about 5 weeks now. I am so very thankful for your wonderful advice and understanding. I had her watch this video and it helped so much. One thing I've realized about anxiety is owning that you have it and learning that you CAN overcome it! Thank you so much and I look forward to watching more videos!

[@padmeamidala4861]

Yesterday i watched this in session with my therapist! I am 12 years old and i am so happy that this exists!

[@ubiquitousbanana3758]

I just found your channel when my daughter was in tears and overwhelmed with anxious thoughts. We watched a few of your videos together and she felt so much better. We plan on watching lots more. Thank you!!

[@asugraduate4821]

I am 7 years old, and you will help me crush my anxiety. You are really nice to help kids who have anxiety. I can't wait to watch more videos. Thank you.

[@theaolsen6612]

My name is Henry and I’m anxious about getting sick and dying. I am 8 years old and my mum is helping me.

[@Fancyyeeps]

lately the anxiety i have been getting is about something no one can answer!this video is after making me realise not to worry about that kind of stuff because i need to focus on more important stuff,THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KamenRanger]

As a parent who has suffered from anxiety all my life, I'm so thankful you're doing this! It really helped my child to know how many other kids struggle with this! Also, while I've tried to pass on things I have been taught, I think hearing from you that challenging anxiety makes it better finally got through. I can't wait to watch the rest of the videos with him. Please keep going!

[@kaitlynshields2285]

This is the first KZbin video I have ever commented on, let alone liked. That’s how much I liked it. My 8 year old has serve anxiety and I have been trying to help her for 3 years. You are the first video that helped her immensely. Thank you. Please keep these videos coming and please help us parents learn more skills to help us and our children navigate this issue that is not talked enough about. She started showing signs in kindergarten and getting her help was jumping through hoops and cutting more red type then anyone should have to. I wish I could say that I have found the solution for her after 3 years but I still have to keep going back to the drawing board. Again thank you for such an uplifting way to explain this to her. I will be showing her more of your videos to help her understand she can fight this and it doesn’t have to control her. You’re putting good and education into the world.

[@lahnagolio8798]

My 7 year old son son and I just watched your video. He started talking to me about what worries him. He doesn’t like the dark or being too far away from mom and dad. Thank you for letting him know he is not alone. As a society, we do not talk about our feelings enough nor do we help each other learn how to regulate them. Your work is so important. We made a connection with you and look forward to your next video.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I agree Lahna! My hope is that we can remove the stigma and get kids to feel like it is okay to talk about these issues. I want them to know that they are not alone and that there is help for these common struggles.

[@nelsonmg1021]

Thank you for posting this! My 12 year old struggles falling so sleep at night because of anxiety. I have been searching for help and came across your video. It was heaven sent. Thank you!

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@kellieschwabe5970]

I'm LOVING the Videos for Kids! I've been watching them with my son (13)... After watching only a few of the kid videos, he has already verbally committed to stop letting his bully dictate to him and he wants to get rid of it! Thank you so much Natasha!

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

That’s great to hear Kellie!

[@crystaldomingo4077]

I started watching because my 8yo is showing signs of anxiety (stomach aches, bad thoughts, low self esteem etc.). I actually burst into tears watching this video because it hit me that I have anxiety! All the things you mentioned are things that my brain tells me. My main one is that people I love will die and the worst possible case scenario can and will happen. My life revolves around these thoughts and I annoy people with my over thinking. I think my emotional breakdown was because I have hope that I can change and live without them. I can't wait to share this video with my family and to start learning more. Thank you SO much for sharing!!

[@tendrelw]

We found your videos today. They are very helpful. Thank you. From my kid “My anxiety is about tests, like any kind of test that I do, I get nervous and scared. I feel like I can’t do anything and I just freeze. I don’t know what to do. This also includes when the teacher asks me a question… if I don’t understand one part of the overall question the entire question is lost on me because my anxiety takes over and I melt.”

[@karenpottle9243]

So thankful for these video series for kids! It is exactly what we needed! My daughter refuses to go to a counselor to help work through strategies to deal with her anxiety but actually sat and stayed within listening distance for this video (which is huge for her). This opens the door to getting her the help she needs. Thank you! You are awesome at what you do!

[@realstatistician]

We watched your video about 2 years ago and it really helped my daughter understand her anxiety. She liked to talk to everyone she met about what she was doing to make her anxiety small. She has done great and doesn’t let anxiety limit her. Thank you!

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I love to hear that!

[@daniv7919]

Thank you for your videos, I’m 14 and my anxiety started when I was leaving my grandparents house once and travelling a long way back home, at first me nor any of my family knew what was happening because I stayed in the washroom throwing up basically all night. One time when it was happening one of my family members stayed up all night with me trying to help and thought it could be anxiety, which unfortunately it is/was and not just food poisoning. I think I have separation anxiety which is sort of embarrassing since I’m getting older but I cannot stop the irrational thoughts from coming I have tried breathing exercises, just nothing seems to work. In 3 days I’m going to a sleep away summer camp and I’m getting quite anxious but your videos are helping me understand what’s going on and I might show my parents so they can get more of an idea of how I feel, sorry this was so long but thank you.

[@sharac4555]

Thanks, great for my 9 yr old. Looking forward to watching the rest. School anxiety is a big one for her, probably because of social anxiety and separation. A video on how to say goodbye, get through the day and particularly survive the playground, would be great.

[@dawnwerntz5580]

I am a therapist and these are so helpful to the kids I see

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Glad to hear it!

[@elvirafigula7775]

My daughter and I just recently discovered your channel and it has been such a blessing. Thank you.

[@wildembers9715]

I’ve been watching KZbin and reading comments for many years, and I’ve NEVER commented. However, I HAVE to tell you how much I deeply appreciate this. Even in my mid-40s, both videos I’ve seen on your channel about anxiety completely resonate with me more than any other mental-health related video I’ve seen. You explain things so clearly rather than just technically, I can connect with the content and see how it applies. You’re speaking to my inner child as well, because I didn’t understand why I’d experienced certain terrifying episodes (which I’ve never shared with anyone). Because you don’t talk down to the viewer or hold back info, this is helpful for kids and adults of all ages. Both my teen children have anxiety as well, and I want to show them these and open up a dialogue, because I’ve never been good at discussing it with them in a way they could receive and relate to it like I know they need. Thank you, THANK YOU!!!! I look forward to more videos like this. I believe the more we understand, the better we manage situations, and through your videos, I’m going to help educate my children and heal myself in the process.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Thank you Tara. Your comment touched my heart ❤️. That is my goal for this channel - to reach not only children and teens, but people of all ages who just need a simple approach to what can be a debilitating condition. I am happy to hear my work is having a positive impact in your life.

[@brittanystroman6073]

Thank you so much for doing these videos I just found them yesterday. My now 10 year old daughter has anxiety and has had it for years I just never knew she did I thought it was a behavioral problem. Everything you say and every example you give I say to myself omg she does that or yep that's her. Her anxiety issues are bed time anxiety. She gets up ever 10 to 20 minutes and it takes her hours to finally fall asleep. Because of your videos I have been able to talk to her about it and teach her the tools you taught me in the video to over come her anxiety her bully as we call him now. She opened up and told everything she things of at night and all the feeling she gets in her body at night and I was able to tell her the things that you said about it. It also made me realize that my sons anger is really anxiety from thing that no one likes him or everyone thinks that his ideas or dumb or that the things that he likes are stupid. Thank you so much for your videos I know they will continue to help me and my daughter and my whole family stand up to our anxiety.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Thanks Brittany, I’m glad the videos are helping ❤️

[@tracyrockwell2982]

These videos are unbelievable. My 14yr old daughter is challenged with anxiety; I believe she has social anxiety as we've been struggling with school refusal. I cannot wait to have her watch these videos. You have an amazing way of explaining what anxiety is and how it works. Your therapy method really clicks with me and I think it will for my daughter too. Can't wait to check out more of your videos.

[@taracavett8955]

I watched this with my boys this morning! And they really loved and it got conversation going. My youngest (4) said he really hopes this makes his big brother (7) “not run away when he gets angry.”

[@nr3349]

I just love you !!!!! I was soooo scared when my 8 year old son (now 10) came to me and told me disturbing thoughts he was having. Before I understood what was going on I would be tempted to discipline him. I started to read about the behaviors he was demonstrating and I realized he has both anxiety and ocd. I’ve been working with him everyday since. He has good days and bad days. I just discovered your videos tonight. It’s 2:00 am and I can’t stop watching because they are soooo informative and so true !!! I just have to say thank you so much. I appreciate your help !! 🙏🏻💖🤗

This is my favourite channel that I have listened on child anxiety.

[@ycastro7514]

Hello, Great Video.. My 11 year old son out of the blue informed me of thoughts he was having during a vacation last week. He said his thoughts would make his stomach hurt and that they were annoying because they kept coming back. " what if what is happening to me is a bigger problem than just being anxious", "what if I cant fall asleep and I am the only one awake at night", "when I apologized for breaking my cousins toy I did not say it the right way I should have said it diffrent"(all day thought)..He is straight A student, and an amazing athlete who had just been accepted into an elite athletic program..This is all new to him and the fear and not understanding of what is going on. He says when he is bored it gets worse. Sorry for writing so much..We are going to get him professional help but he is currently staying with Grandma for the summer as he always has. My wife and I have never felt with anything like this and to see him change over night is very scary.. Thank you for listening

[@swells74]

I am 12 years old and I watched this with my mom and it made me feel better to know that I’m not alone and that there’s a way to help with anxiety thank you for this amazing video.

[@heathertalbert123]

My 9 year old son has seen this three times, and each time he absorbs and learns a little more. I'm especially grateful for that since he is very uncomfortable talking about his anxiety and OCD, even with me! He laughs every time at the part where you explain that people don't go around saying, "Hi, I have a bologna sandwich, and I have anxiety." The visuals you add to your content teaching the kids really helps explain better what you are saying as well as entertaining him in the process. Can't wait to see more and see you help walk my son through learning how to beat the Bossy Voice and the Worry Cloud!

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Thanks Heather! It is nice to hear that your son is getting something from the videos. My 8yr old has a hard time talking about his anxiety too. I have him watch my videos too 😜/

[@signebaumann4103]

My daughter thinks these videos for kids are a really good idea!! She wants you to talk about not being nervous doing things in front of people (social anxiety). And a video about her fear of bugs. She also now wants to move to Arizona so you can be her therapist. 😊

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

That's too funny!

[@saral1086]

Excellent video! Showed it to my 8 year old daughter who has anxiety and Emetophobia and she really enjoyed it. She especially liked it when you mentioned the different kinds of anxieties kids get, the drum rolls, and when you pretended you were a kid and asked all the anxiety questions (which she does most of !). We are really looking forward to your next videos and we want to thank you very much for taking the time to do this. You are really an angel to do this for so many families!! 💓💓💓

[@ruralst]

Thank you for helping the littles fight anxiety. My sweet 5 year old was made fun of for having food on her face at lunch time back in Pre-k, it has stuck with her and the impact is she refuses to eat in front of others. It seems to be getting worse, as she will turn down her favorite foods or treats to avoid potentially being teased. She hates people watching her eat. She is so tender hearted and I so wish she wasn’t battling anxiety, especially anxiety that is causing food aversion. It’s sad watching her positive self-esteem get pushed aside by her anxiety. Any tips for helping her recover from this?

I couldn't hack it, was terrified! Mainly was terrified in both cases of hurting myself. I wanted to kill the gym teacher. LOL But I loved dodgeball! Go figure. I wasn't a timid kid, but I wasn't as fearless as many kids are. Maybe it was minor phobias or something. Not sure. It kind of passed later on.

I wish anxiety disorders had a different name because everybody has anxiety and I feel like people dont know how servere an anxiety disorder is and can get. I hope that makes sense :) Great video, thank you!

Thank you for doing this. My son suffers from anxiety, mostly due to his ADHD, Dyslexia & other learning differences, & Speech & Language impairment. His anxiety is growing in school & tutoring so much so in Middle School and we need help. Can you please address test anxiety, shutting down in the classroom, perfectionism, being afraid to make mistakes, etc? Thank you again!!

Brilliant - watched this with my 10 year old - we are dealing with the anxieties covered in your clip - would also like strategy examples to cope with social anxieties - thanks

I am currently working on an online social anxiety class. Hopefully that will be available pretty soon. I’ll definitely be doing videos on that topic. The issue is near and dear to my socially anxious heart 😜.
