Child's Anxiety

You may have realized that your child has difficulty in concentrating, not eating properly, easily irritated or annoyed or constantly worried and having negative thoughts. These are some signs that your child may have anxiety. This disorder can happen at any age, especially common during early childhood.

We are no experts in this but we have gathered a few information to help you cope better.  

Coping with child's anxiety is not an easy task but take note that your objective is not to eliminate but to help your child manage better. Children are sensitive to what happens around them. They can develop their fears and some naturally is more timid and anxious than others. 

Corrective actions like harsh scolding, punishments or questioning them like a prisoner can potentially reinforce the fears in them. We know things can go wrong at home but we also have to understand that children get upset and do not know how to cope with their feelings. The accumulation of this negative aspects cause them to have anxiety, the sense of insecurity, worried or guilty.

Correcting your child does need some strategies so that they do not repeat again. Teaching them right from wrong has to do with your calmness and tonality. We are not implying that you should give in but firmly explain the consequences if they do not behave and listen to what they have to say for not repeating again. 

In addition, children need to know when they did something bad or when they do something good. Catch them for being good and point it out. Praise them so that they know their actions is done right.
