Children in middle childhood are capable of coping with anxiety better than a younger child.

Children in middle childhood (ages 6-12) have developed cognitive and emotional skills that allow them to better manage anxiety and cope with stressful situations compared to younger children. They have better language and reasoning skills, are able to understand cause and effect relationships, and can think about the future and plan for it. However, individual differences and personal experiences can impact how well a child copes with anxiety.
