It’s normal for most kids to start experiencing anxiety when they are preschool aged. For Aimery, his anxiety often comes out in being overwhelmed when he is over-stimulated, in crowds of people, or has been away from home for too long.

I have really been working with him over the last month to understand when he is feeling anxious, and give him healthy ways to calm his anxiety.
