Advanced Strategies for Overcoming Your Child`s Anxiety

You CAN help your child overcome their anxiety. In the next few minutes, you are going to learn how you can help your child feel better about themselves, be more confident and most importantly happy again by discovering how they can win the battle with anxiety, low self-esteem and fear. Untreated anxiety could devastate your child`s life.

Children with anxiety often experience severe social problems, have low self-esteem, poor school performance; can develop physical illness or depression. Their anxiety is likely to continue in their adult life and they may struggle for the rest of their lives. Research has shown that the majority of adults with anxiety battled anxiety as a child. Anxiety, if untreated, can develop into more serious mental health problem and dangerous behaviour such as self harm, drug and alcohol abuse or harming others.

Does your child have a problem with anxiety?

Here are the most common symptoms of anxiety that your child may be experiencing:

• Unexplained physical symptoms (headaches, stomach aches).
• Decreased school performance, avoiding school, lack of concentration.
• Being nervous or having nervous habits such as nail biting or hair pulling.
• A very frequent need of reassurance.
• Being overly self critical.
• Sleep difficulties, fatigue.
• Avoiding meeting with other children for social activities.
• Being moody, unusually quiet or having outbursts of anger.
  

What is causing anxiety in your child?

There might be a reason for your child`s anxiety that you can clearly identify or there might be no obvious reason for it, but whatever the reason is, the fact remains that your child needs your help to get out of the vicious circle of anxiety. Genetics may play a role and so can the lifestyle of your family. The good news is anxiety can be treated and YOU as a parent have the power to help your child win against their fears.

Let`s take a closer look at how anxiety "tricks "your child`s mind

Have you ever heard of the "fight or flight" response? It is an old self- preservation mechanism that we all have built into us from the day we were born. It was first described by Walter Cannon in 1929. Here is what it means: Imagine you are a caveman walking in a jungle when you suddenly see a tiger. Your heart starts pounding and your body prepares to fight in seconds by releasing chemicals and signals to the most important parts of your body - brain, heart and muscles. You are ready to fight or run away. All of us have experienced this reaction at some point in our lives.

Do you remember how did it feel when you just about avoided a car accident? You didn`t think, you REACTED. And when you realized you were safe, your heart was racing and your legs felt like a jelly. Anxiety produces similar reaction. Let's have a look at this example: Your child is going to school and these thoughts are going through its head: "What if I make a mistake" or "What if I get nervous and embarrassed". And suddenly they become anxious, their heart beat faster, they start trembling and feel "paralyzed" and unable to think about anything else.

The anxiety is "tricking" them into a feeling of a danger where there is none. Next time they go to school they remember the horrible feeling they experienced last time and suddenly start experiencing the same symptoms again and again until it becomes a "habit", their anxiety grows stronger and they get caught in a vicious circle of anxiety. The tricks the anxiety plays are so powerful it can affect every aspect of your child`s life and be persistent even when their fear makes no logical sense!

Why most therapies for anxiety fail, but here is what you can do

The problem is that the vicious circle of anxiety occurs on a primitive, deep and emotional level and most of the programs for anxiety attempt to correct an emotional and automatic problem on a logical level...it just won`t work. Let me give you an example: How many times have you tried to explain to your child to stop worrying and tell them they will be fine? Your child is not CHOOSING to worry. They can`t just be TOLD to stop being afraid. Logical explanations can`t stop them being anxious. What about medication and pills? They can help to control the symptoms of your child`s anxiety, but as you know are not a long term solution.
