My 6 years old daughter is always afraid of what might happen

My daughter is 6 years old and is the only child, from the mother side. She is always thinking about what is going to happen and is constantly looking at the time. She will go to school crying if she leaves her watch, she cries for any little thing that might be said. I feel that I give her all the attention neccessary for her not to feel lonely, I get upset at times because I'm doing everything it takes. Her school teachers have called me to ask me if there is something going on at home because she cries a lot. It is only me and her living in an apartment. Please help me I will like to k ow if she has a disorder.

Your daughter does sound anxious,does she have no communication with other Family or friends ,you could encourage friends if you think she is lonely and do more outings with her,Has she Hobbys or stuff she does out side school? She does sound anxious so it wont hurt to speak to your Doc.Ask her how shes feeling Talk to her and be observant in her life .

It is possible that your daughter is suffering from anxiety - perhaps generalized anxiety or  GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). The fact that the school is contacting you is notable - teachers are very busy people and will not take the time to contact parents unless a troubling issue is thought to be present.  Have you discussed these behaviours with your daughter's pediatrician?
