Are they obsessing over things such as germs, routines, or school work? Do they generally worry over many things? Is there family history of anxiety? Your child may be struggling with anxiety and needs help to overcome it.

The child anxiety: Causes and solutions By steve peter at 2011-12-03 12:41:48

An anxious Child may stay away from other children: he prefers to remain outside the group or alone, sometimes, he always tries to avoid new situations. This type of Child anxiety is deeper than shyness and affects 10% to 15% of children.
The causes
Now you will probably never get to know with certainty the reasons why your child is more fearful than others. Here, however, are several common causes of Child anxiety:
• Some are born with a highly reactive nervous system. They are therefore more prone to anxiety. This means that any single thing can make them anxious, that their anxiety may be more intense than average and that they may be difficult to calm down.
• If, as a parent, you are likely anxious, your child may react to your state. • Your child may have had a frightening experience without having had the opportunity to confront and overcome.
How to respond to child anxiety?
Parents can learn many things for their children to help them manage their anxiety. Here are several ways to make life easier for your child:
• Be patient and give him all the time he needs to overcome his initial fear of something new. • Use make-believe games and stories to prepare him for new situations to which it may be difficult to adapt or it could be feared. • Praise him when he was able to overcome his anxiety. Try to give the impression that he is a victorious hero. • Remind him constantly that there are many things to which he has no fear. This will help him to understand that it is possible to overcome his fears. • Try to negotiate with him on "trial period" with respect to new activities. This will encourage him to discover the world.
There is no point in pushing an anxious child to overcome his fears in a short time. Move slowly but surely. Above all, do not give up and do not let him escape all the scary situations. If you think that the anxiety he experiences has a profound effect on his sleep, his alimentation and his games, or if it is really starting to worry or frustrate you, see his doctor.
