Partly genetic and partly environmental, meaning that you or your husband probably have anxiety and when interacting with them, your anxiety, meaning the way you address things in regular day to day, gets passed on to the children.
It's just that it is the most common condition for kids. Plus, they are adapting to an adult-driven world and issues of life and they are still kids. But anxiety is treatable and have your kids start therapy to learn coping skills.
