Video Transcript
Anxiety is an emotion or feeling everyone has that tells us something bad is going to happen. Anxiety is sometimes called “fear,” “worry,” or feeling “scared” or “nervous.”
Anxiety helps us stay safe when something dangerous is going to happen. If you saw a big alligator coming your way, you would feel pretty scared! That is a good thing because if you are scared, you would stay away from the alligator and get help, and then you would be safe.
Sometimes we feel scared when nothing bad is going to happen. LUNA is about helping kids who feel scared too much.
As you can see, anxiety can be helpful. LUNA is about helping kids who feel scared too much.
