    Homeschooling for Anxiety in Children

    Traditional schools can often be an intense environment for children, especially for those who suffer with anxiety or a severe anxiety disorder.

    Homeschooling provides countless benefits to students who suffer with anxiety and anxiety disorders. It can help reduce anxiety-levels and provides them with the care and attention that they need. With less peer-pressure, a quieter and more focused environment and learning from the comfort of their own home, homeschooling offers multiple benefits to help relieve the feelings of anxiety whilst empowering students.

    Common anxiety disorders in children include:

    • Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
    • School-based anxiety
    • Social anxiety
    • Panic disorder
    • Separation anxiety
    • Phobias, including school phobia

    Why homeschooling could be the answer

    For many children, anxiety affects their thoughts, feelings and behaviours; impacting their school, home and social life as well as their relationships with peers & teachers. Homeschooling provides a safe environment for children to learn at their own pace, surrounded by family. What’s more, educating at home is more flexible and if your child needs to attend regular appointments, they can catch up on recorded classes, so they don’t miss out or have gaps in their education. The autonomy that homeschooling provides has also shown to empower children and improve their self-esteem.
