It’s normal for children and teens to worry about friends, school, or change — but when worry feels constant or starts affecting sleep, mood, or confidence, it may be too much. Try using a “Worry Circle”: together, sort worries into what’s in their control (like studying or asking for help) and what’s not (like others’ opinions or the weather). This helps them focus on what they can manage — and gently let go of what they can’t.
