About this Course

Fear and anxiety are a normal part of childhood development. As children grow and encounter new people, environments, and experiences, they may experience worries, fears, or feelings of uncertainty. Common concerns such as separation from parents, unfamiliar situations, and interactions with strangers are often expected developmental milestones. However, understanding these behaviors and responding appropriately is essential to supporting children's emotional well-being and helping them feel safe and secure. This course explores the causes, characteristics, and effects of common childhood fears and anxieties, with a particular focus on stranger anxiety and separation anxiety. Participants will learn how these anxieties develop, how they differ across age groups, and the ways they can influence children's behavior, learning, and social interactions. Learners will examine the signs and symptoms of anxiety in young children and gain insight into how children express fear, stress, and emotional discomfort. The course also addresses the impact anxiety can have on children's confidence, relationships, and overall development if not effectively supported. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
