The Oxford University Press (OUP) has picked up ‘Anxiety’ as the Children’s Word of the Year 2021, based on their recent research.
Apart from “anxiety” (21%), “Challenging” (19%), “isolate” (14%), “Wellbeing” (13%), and “resilience” (12%) were the children’s top five words.
In 2020, ‘Coronavirus’ was the Children’s Word of the Year by OUP.
Eight thousand children in the UK were surveyed and asked to choose the words they would use when talking about health and wellbeing.
