Growing Up in Dubai

Childhood in a Fast-Moving City Can Be Harder Than It Looks

School, homework, activities, friendships, screens and a constantly changing social world can leave little time to slow down. Some are also settling into a new country, curriculum or friendship group. Loneliness, worry, irritability or feeling different can appear even when there is no obvious reason.

This is not uncommon. A UAE study of 3,745 school students found anxiety symptoms in 23.3% and depression symptoms in 17.1%. Sometimes the reason for a change is clear. Sometimes it appears long before anyone can explain what is happening.
