Panic Attack Prevention in Children - Is It Possible?

By Garyl Hany

As parents, the main reason why we keep on living is our children. Our child is our person, our life and our soul. We are happy if they are happy and we suffer if they suffer. And if they get panic attacks, our world seems to shatter pieces by pieces and the pieces are sometimes difficult to put together again. We can't continue to live like this but we can stop panic attack from hitting our children.

We can protect our children from panic attacks if we stop the root causes of stress from spawning. Stress is common to children in dysfunctional or broken families. However, even though we are already separated from our wives or husbands, we can still put a stop to panic attacks. The wisest thing to do is to dedicate more time and effort for the sake of our children.

The most vital thing to do is to let the children feel comfortable with their surroundings. There are a lot of things that children don't seem to understand and comprehend. However, they also have the right to understand the situation they are in. So, if the parents decide to separate, the children should know about this even though they will get hurt. This can be done separately. The main point is to teach the children accept reality and not to hide them in fantasyland.

Spending quality time with your children can help them accept the situation more easily. Give them the guidance, comfort and understanding they seek. Otherwise, they will be susceptible to a lot of psychological disorders including anxiety and panic disorder. Remind your children that they are the most precious gifts God had given to you.

If you can, eliminate all your children fears, especially the fear of being alone. Don't make them feel that you are neglecting them or else they would feel unworthy and unloved. Toys can't replace your absence and the only way to make them feel secure if your constant comfort and understanding even though you are busy. This also means keep your children as your top priority.

If you can't avoid being away from your children, find a trusted friend or family as a guardian. Guardians may substitute for you so that your children won't feel alone. Let them socialize with other children at their age as early as possible. And let them play and interact with other kids at a playground. - 29881
