Children’s Mental Health Week: Nearly Two In Three Children Feel Worried All The Time
Stress and worry are a part of every walk of life. No job, no task, is without its stresses and strains. During my time as deputy Prime Minister I would have numerous decisions to juggle which would leave me worrying about whether I was making the right choices or not. Luckily I have an amazing family and close friends who gave me all the support I could wish for. Not everyone is as fortunate. As an adult having to deal with such pressure is extremely difficult to navigate so I can't imagine what it would be like for a child to feel anxious and stressed all the time. Yet I was surprised to learn this week that nearly two thirds of children say they worry all the time. Accordingly to a new survey published by children's charity Place2Be 63% of children still at primary school say they worry "all the time" about at least one thing to do with their school life, home life or themselves.
