It’s hard to watch your child struggle with physical symptoms, like stomach aches, headaches, or fatigue, especially when doctors can’t find a clear cause. As parents, we want answers, and it can be frustrating when those answers don’t come easily. 

​

Sometimes, these symptoms are the body’s way of expressing emotional stress. This is known as psychosomatic pain, very real discomfort caused by things like anxiety, worry, or overwhelming situations. Kids often can’t put their feelings into words, so their bodies speak for them. 

​

At JNC Behavioral Services, we understand how closely the mind and body are connected. Our team gently helps kids explore what might be going on beneath the surface, teaching them healthy ways to cope, express themselves, and start feeling better.

If your child is facing unexplained symptoms and you suspect stress might be playing a role, reach out. We're here to support you as a family.
