So far I have discussed how children can experience anxiety when studying and working on tasks in Mathematics however today we are going to look at children who are reluctant writers.

Many times I have had this conversation with parents in Parent/Teacher consultations over the years. Parents/guardians should understand that it is a completely normal thing for a child to have anxiety in terms of their ability to achieve in Mathematics but it can feel like you are the only people experiencing this problem.

We all have fears. For some it might be spiders, I personally don’t like confined spaces or high rise buildings, and for others it might be something unfathomable to the rest of us like a fear of ice cream!Whatever the fear – the symptoms are the same. Confused thoughts, a desire to run, sweaty palms, revulsion and panic.
