The childhood anxiety report also details common symptoms parents should look for to recognize an anxiety disorder, including physical symptoms such as repeated stomach or headaches and muscle tensions or excessive worrying about something bad happening and frequently feeling nervous or obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors as well as difficulties falling or staying asleep, fear of making mistakes, irritability or difficulty separating from the parents, and more.
