Happiness, anxiety, lack of belonging


A new survey of 47,000 Australian children aged between 6 and 18 years of age has been conducted to reveal what emotions they feel in different walks of life and what makes them worry the most.

This study was conducted by the ABC’s children’s news program Behind the News to find out how often children are concerned about being different, their relationships with their families, friendships, schoolwork, or even world problems.

One of the most worrisome concerns were their body image, their future and bullying.

So how this anxiety can be dealt with? How does it affect their growth?

The child and family counselor Mrs. Arige Sukkarieh will tell us more.
