Many children have anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders usually start at a young age effecting children and teens. Anxiety in children can be overlooked because parents can remember certain times in their childhood that had many uncomfortable feelings and also some awkwardness involved.
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.
If your child suddenly has extreme changes in behavior that seem more extreme than even a normal teenage reaction it may be a sign of some form of anxiety. If normal daily events are causing them to become stressed out, or they stop going out in social situations you may have a child who is battling with anxiety.
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.
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.
