Juvenile arthritis: The most common symptom is stiffness in a joint. The stiffness can be worse after rest (after waking up in the morning, after a nap, or a long car ride). Other symptoms can include joint swelling and joint pain.

Highly variable: There are different forms of childhood arthritis. Things that should make you want to seek care sooner rather than later would basically be anything beyond "plain pain." swelling, skin rashes, fevers, or feeling sick in general are all reasons to be evaluated.
