Helping Parents and Educators Recognize Early Signs of Childhood Depression, Anxiety, Bullying & Trafficking
Early Signs of Childhood Depression
Children may signal depression through sadness, loss of interest, sleep or appetite changes, and withdrawal at school or home.
Early Signs of Childhood Anxiety
Children with anxiety may show excessive worry, frequent headaches or stomachaches, avoidance of school or social events, and restlessness or perfectionism that makes it hard to relax.
Early Signs a Child is Being Bullied
Bullying often shows up as unexplained injuries or missing items, avoiding school or activities, sudden mood changes, and declining grades or sleep struggles.
Early Signs a Child May Be Groomed by a Trafficker
