(HealthDay News) -- Children who don't get enough time to play and relax -- or who are pushed beyond their comfort zone -- may become anxious, experts say.

• Steering clear of other people.
• Losing interest in eating.
• Acting nervous.
• Having trouble sleeping.
• Complaining of headaches or stomach aches.
• Appearing depressed.
