Anxiety in young children

Just as young children can suffer from depression, they may also suffer from anxiety. The world of the child is developing rapidly, and because everything is changing so quickly, become an anxious child is not at all unusual . Worry not, however, require treatment. The concern that children feel , however, is generally easier "definite" or " including " anxiety that adults feel .

 

For example, a child between the ages of 3 and 6 may fear monsters under the bed. As adults , we know there are no monsters under the bed, but it is a very real fear for a child of this age. Toddlers often suffer from separation anxiety - not wanting to end up with someone other than their parents or relatives. It is more than being " choosy . " They know a real anxiety or fear .
 

Babies do not necessarily suffer from separation anxiety, but they can begin to feel anxious when they are in the presence of a stranger. Have you ever seen a toddler bury his / her head on his mother's lap when you smile ? It's anxiety to play. Seniors , tweens children are more aware of things happening in the world and begin to fear natural disasters , accidents, and even war.
 

Some concerns may be exceeded. For example, the baby feels a little anxious around strangers can overcome these feelings as they get a little older . But old fears are often replaced by new fears. The child stops fearing strangers, but starts without fearing their parent ( separation anxiety ) , and once they get past that anxiety , they may begin to fear monsters.
 

Children need to be reassured that they are safe. You should watch for signs of anxiety in your child, and if you see these signs, you should try to determine what your child is worried. You may or may not be able to reassure the child and help dispel their fear .
 

Signs of anxiety in children include attachment, being impulsive , nervous movements, trouble sleeping, sweaty hands or sweaty , increased heart rate , faster than usual , nausea, frequent headaches breathing, and frequent stomach aches .
