Poplar Street, Petersburg Deadline: 5 p.m. on Monday Youth First Today by Leah Lottes, Youth First, Inc. Identifying anxiety in an elementary student REAL ESTATE DEADLINE 5 p.m. Every Monday When you think of anxiety, what comes to mind? Many people view anx- iety as a feeling of worry and nervous- ness, but this isn't always the case, es- pecially when referring to elementa- ry-aged students. There are many different types of anxiety, which is one reason why it may be hard to identify in the class- room. According to the website child- mind.org, this can include separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disor- der and specific phobias. Separation anxiety occurs when a child is worried about being away from a caregiver. Children may also strug- gle with social anxiety, which may pre- vent them from interacting with peers and participating in class. Generalized anxiety can occur when students are worried about common everyday occurrences, whether that is something at home or at school. Obses- sive-compulsive disorder and specific phobias are also forms of anxiety that elementary-aged students may strug- gle with. Although these anxieties have their differences, many of the signs and symptoms are similar. The following are some signs that an elementary stu- dent may be experiencing anxiety, as listed by childmind.org: • Inattention and restlessness • Attendance problems • Easily attached to others • Disruptive behavior • Trouble answering questions in class • Frequent trips to the nurse • Difficulty in certain school subjects • Avoiding socializing or group work The first step toward helping stu- dents experiencing anxiety is to help them define what anxiety looks or feels like for them and what triggers it. The next step is to work toward managing the anxiety. The website weareteachers.com lists the following techniques to man- age anxiety: • Deep Breathing - When peo- ple slow down their breathing, they slow down their brains. When you take just a few minutes to take some deep breaths, your muscles relax, your blood pressure lowers, endorphins are released (which improves how you're feeling), and oxygen delivery increas- es, which increases the functionality of every system in the body. • Get Outside - Being outside has been proven to help calm the brain. Sometimes just a change of scenery is all you need to reset your brain. Breathing in fresh air and taking a few moments to be mindful of your surroundings can help ease anxiety. • Get Moving - Exercise can also help reduce anxiety. The endorphins released during exercise make you feel better and reduce stress. • Think Positive Thoughts - If you begin to think positive thoughts, the brain is less likely to produce anxious thoughts. Creating a gratitude jour- nal is a great way to express positive thoughts. The gratitude journal can be as simple as writing down at least one thing you are thankful for every day. This technique allows students to fo- cus on the positives in their life. These are just a few of the many techniques that can be used to cope with anxiety. Anxiety can affect people of all ages, so it is important to know the signs. If you or someone you know is experiencing anxiety, try some of these techniques or share these help- ful tips.

I lived in it for a year while I was in Australia. We sometimes hu- morously called it the White Castle, some- times affec- tionately called it Standing Ruins, some- times truthful- ly called it Death Bug For- tress. We always called it home. The Castle was the per- fect twisted fairy tale home, like something that comes to life on-screen in a Tim Burton movie or perhaps a Wes Anderson movie. It existed somewhere in the realm of disturbed whim- sy. The Castle — at the top of the highest hill overlook- ing the quaint town below, with rounded walls and tow- ers, surrounded by rainfor- est — was flimsy, dilapidat- ed and infested with bugs whose mission in life was to kill you while you slept. Its white turrets were the first thing to catch the morning sun, gleaming back to you what the day had in store. This is something notewor- thy when you live just the slightest bit west of the first place on earth the sun hits every day. Perhaps you've read my stories about the paradox of life in the Castle. Waking to the most brilliantly colored birds calling out- side my bedroom window. Shower- ing with the visi- bly fanged huntsman spi- der. The gorgeous wall of windows — which wouldn't close, leading to nights of bug-lined ceilings. Sweep- ing up the dead who'd fall- en from the Castle's sky be- fore our resident ants could make breakfast of them. It looked beautiful from the outside — if you stood no closer than the street. With its sunlit turrets, it looked aspirational from any view in town. The inside wasn't all squalor. The basement apartment was pretty well-insulated and at least didn't seem to have the same bug problem that we experi- enced upstairs. On the flat roof, we set up lawn chairs, grew salvia and looked down on our kingdom. Guillermo del Toro could tell the story of the Castle well. But I don't need the imaginations of cinematic directors to bring the Cas- tle to life. I lived it. And for all the bedbugs and cockroaches and spi- der bites and wasp stings, I loved it. A pilot I wrote for a chil- dren's animated show was recently picked up to be turned into a series in Aus- tralia. I will be heading to the country soon. It'll be my first time back in 16 years. In addition to meeting with the production company, I've made plans to see old friends and drive up to the Castle. But the Castle is gone. Google Maps shows the top of the hill. There stands a new modern home with a geometrical design and in- door-outdoor living spac- es — decks suspended like bridges. I want to go knock on the door. I want to ask whether the new owner simply took a wrecking ball to the place or took the appropriate steps to keep the integrity and char- Continued on page 5
