[Machine Translation] It may seem as though anxiety is nothing but harmful to children, with no benefits whatsoever. However, that is not the case. Anxiety is essential to our survival. Herbivores must feel the anxiety of being attacked by carnivores and sense even the slightest sign of danger in order to survive. Humans, too, can escape danger by noticing faint strange odors or the sound of a car approaching around a corner. In this special feature, we begin by exploring why anxiety exists and what it signifies, and then examine anxiety in various situations and how to cope with it. While we often tend to view relieving a child s anxiety" as a golden rule, we hope this book will encourage you to consider what anxiety actually means to a child."
