People never seem to realize that children can suffer from anxiety as much as adults. In fact the anxiety that displays when children get to be teenagers will have started to develop usually in their early childhood.
Moving to a new school, going out on a date and even falling down can cause butterflies in a child's stomach. Children can get nervous and embarrassed and this is a pretty common feeling to a child.
Severe changes in behavior that seem really exaggerated could be warnings of an anxiety disorder in a child. Some of these symptoms that a child may experience are a unrealistic worry about their daily events, the need of reassurance from authority figures, having severe self conscious behavior, extreme fear of certain social situations or events.
There are many possible symptoms of anxiety in a child, sweating and dizziness, having pain or discomfort with no explanations, repetitive behaviors, an over reaction to having physical contact, and insomnia and having trouble sleeping are just a few of them
The years when your child is growing can be the happiest of your life. We all know that a child will develop new skills but they will also develop new fears and worries along with the more usual reading and writing.
It is accepted that symptoms of anxiety will appear in most children between the ages of six and eight. This is the age when most children become less scared of the imaginary monster in the wardrobe, they start to really enjoy school and interacting with others. Some children will spread their wings quicker than others, but it can be difficult for a parent to be able to tell reticence from developing social anxiety disorder.
If you think that your child may have an anxiety disorder then you may want to speak with a healthcare provider. A healthcare professional with a background for treating children can be a child's best hope when it comes to living with anxiety.
Treatment for children with anxiety is the same as that for adults, a mixture of medication and therapy. With children it is even more important than with adults that you are fully aware of all the options available and any potential side effects. - 16004
