At what point, do we stop calling something nerves (or he is nervous) to realizing that this child has anxiety that needs to be addressed?

When your mom gut tells you it needs addressing.
There are gentle things you can do outside of therapy and meds. So it doesn't need to reach a threshold.
Imo, children should be carefree and any noticeable anxiety (unless there is something obvious going on in their lives) is outside of the norm.

I have a high anxiety child and it has effected his life since he was a toddler too afraid to go down the slide at the park. My other kids were a little afraid but still went down this kid would sit and sit and I would have to go up there and get him so the other kids could have a turn. It effects his life in so many ways. I can just see how its different from him then my other kids or my friends kids.
We did end up medicating him for both anxiety and ADHD with a new non stimulant that was shown to treat anxiety. This was the end of 1st grade he was 7.5. He was struggling too much and this helped a lot.
I ask myself a lot is this the hill I want to die on and that tells me what to do if I push something or not. OT helps him. Also collaborative problem solving. Over the years he has outgrown many fears with just time and patience but school is a big trigger that will be life long. So we spend a lot of time on it.
