What Is Parental Anxiety?

Parental anxiety is the feeling of fear, nervousness and worry specifically related to being a parent or caregiver. It is also completely normal, however when we start to worry excessively, from the moment we discover we are expecting, it may start to dominate our lives in an unhealthy way. All kinds of stressful situations can be a part of daily life. You may worry about how your own anxiety affects your child and if they may also experience anxiety themselves. What worries one parent will not necessarily worry the next, as anxiety triggers are different for everyone. While low-level anxiety can be positive as it motivates us to stay focused and helps us avoid dangerous situations, excessive anxiety and stress can dominate our day or week, and prevent us from enjoying a fulfilling life. If we are feeling anxious and low, we may not have the motivation to do simple things such as get ourselves and our children ready for the day ahead. We may struggle to go to work, tidy the house or cook dinner. This can create even more guilt and anxiety as we may feel we are letting our family down. We may also suffer from physical symptoms such as a racing heart and shortness of breath, or experience headaches and tummy aches, and feel constantly tense in our bodies. While it is very common to have some fears, excessive fears do not serve us and we will need to look at ways we can deal with them. The good news is that once we have identified our triggers, there are plenty of things we can do to help cope with stressful and anxious events.
