The Age of STRESS
HELPING YOUR CHILD OVERCOME ANXIETY
It’s hard to imagine kids as anything but carefree, happy, and eager to explore the world around them. However, children experience stress just like adults do, which can severely impact their typically cheerful dispositions. Now is an opportune time to familiarize yourself with tools and information that can help you alleviate your child’s stress.
What are their stressors?
Any number of everyday factors can lead to stress, and stress can plague anyone who feels overwhelmed. Toddlers and young children going to day care or school for the first time may experience separation anxiety due to being apart from their parents. Older kids and teenagers may feel mounting social and academic pressure. Even something as simple as overhearing loved ones arguing or seeing a sad news report can add to a child’s stress levels.
How do I know if my child is stressed?
We have become one of the most positively reviewed firms in Hampton Roads! Here’s what our recent clients are saying:
When a kid is stressed, they will exhibit odd behavior and even undergo physical changes. Depending on your child’s age, watch for mood swings, changes in sleep patterns, headaches, trouble focusing, or withdrawal from the people around them. According to KidsHealth.org, younger children may also pick up habits like twirling their hair or sucking their thumb, while older kids may start to bully others, lie, or rebel.

Can I help reduce their stress?
"The Holcomb Law firmwas very quick and responsive even during this difficult time. Katherine Nace consulted with us on a very odd and difficult family situation and was able to provide us with great guidance and support. Should our issue need to be pursued we will surely continue to use Holcomb. We feel that we are in the best of hands."
According to KidsHealth.org, good nutrition, proper rest, and healthy attention are great ways to help kids manage their stress. Set time aside each day to talk and spend time with your children; talking about worries will reduce or relieve anxieties. If you know about an upcoming stressful situation, like a school exam or a health checkup, prepare your child by studying with them or talking to them about what to expect.

"I hired Attorney Holcomb back in July 2019. I was very nervous about the process as it was the first time I’d needed legal representation. Mr. Holcomb and his team made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Mr. Hamilton, the paralegal, remained in constant contact with me along the way, keeping me informed with everything on my case. As a result of their hard work, my case settled. I was very happy with the outcome and representation. I would strongly recommend this law firm."
