Anxiety is one of the most common psychological disorders that has been observed in both school-aged children and adolescents worldwide. Many students face anxiety issues when they think they are unable to achieve their academic or non-academic purposes; however, sometimes anxiety helps in encouraging students to critically think about how to achieve the set goals. Students cope with anxiety in various ways, but most of them struggle to deal with anxiety effectively which probably causes many symptoms that affect their physical and mental health. Therefore, it is one of the many responsibilities of teachers to help students deal and manage their emotions and keep them mentally healthy. In India, the main cause of anxiety among school children and adolescents is the unrealistically high educational expectations from parents as well as teachers for students to outdo their classmates and their personal best, every time.
