Anxiety is such a common problem, which adults also face along with children. Nervousness or other symptoms are seen in about 20 percent of children. These include minor fears such as being afraid of clowns or dogs or more general panics such as always thinking that something is going to go wrong.
The reason for panic can be external or internal as well. Feelings of desire to do well in school, match up with peers, parental fights or talks about divorce, a change in the city or school, a completely hectic routine, a horror movie, or a book. These are some of the things that can increase stress as well as nervousness in children.
According to experts, now parents are more stressed than ever. It may be because of the economic or political environment of the world. But it definitely has an effect on children too.
Anxious parents can sometimes increase the stress level in children by over-control.
Are you having too much control over your child?
While this concern is justified, a child may not understand where or which way he is passing through. And he may see his parents' more defensive behavior as his own weakness and incompetence.
In most cases, the fear or nervousness in children ends with age. A one- or two-year-old child who shows a sense of isolation and severe discomfort in socializing with another child. He won't always be like this. He may grow up to be an extrovert and like to talk and socialize with new people.
But, while this is fortunately true, the symptoms of panic still cannot be ignored with the hope that it will go away. This needs attention, maybe it could be a sign of something more serious than just escalating into trouble.
The biggest reason for not being able to identify panic, in the beginning, is that panic doesn't really look like panic. The behavioral and physical symptoms may vary from child to child.
A 12-year-old boy Aryan can use aggressive behavior to deal with his nervousness effectively. So that his classmates can decide about him. Whereas 5-year-old Naira can calm down before going to school.
