In Denmark, an estimated 100.000 children and teenagers suffer from an anxiety disorder. Often, their anxiety is at a level that prevents them from leading a normal life and they can’t attend school or function socially. MOM, I’M SCARED focuses on the lives of three girls and their families as they struggle to keep everything going while their daily lives are defined by the children’s anxiety. Two episodes follow the girls and their families who have enrolled in the program Cool Kids, which was created to help children handle their anxiety and understand the mechanisms that put the children at risk of the widespread disorder.
