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.
Things that as adults we laugh about can cause children some real anxiety. The first day at a new school or their first date can both be things that cause normal worry to turn into an anxiety attack.
It can be difficult telling what behaviors are just normally "acting out" and which ones are caused by the children being in a state of anxiety due to their daily lives. Events which seem unimportant initially can prey on your childs mind and cause him to become anxious.
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.
The Department of Health and Human services suggests that you observe a child's behavior between the ages of six to eight years old for symptoms that come along with anxiety disorders. During this stage of development a lot of parents begin to notice that their children are less afraid of things in the closet and tend to become more eager to go to school instead of clinging on to mom or dad. There are ways that a parent can tell if their child may need to seek treatment for their behavior.
Rather than just hoping for the best if you think your son or daughter has a anxiety disorder you should speak to your Dr or healthcare professional. Ideally you should speak to someone with experience in children's health rather than your normal Dr.
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.
