Causes of Child Anxiety Attacks

]]>

Child anxiety, just like that of adults, is a normal, healthy emotion felt as a response to certain stimuli. But when anxiety becomes recurring, irrational and intense, it may be considered as a disorder.

Episodes of anxiety attacks can disable a child from performing their daily duties in school and at home. And while it is generally safe, anxiety attacks can affect how the child lives.

Since children are more fragile, they are more vulnerable to such attacks and the effects of these attacks may be more severe than to adults. But what causes anxiety attacks? Here are some of the most common reasons of anxiety attacks in children:

Change in lifestyle

A child creates friends in school and in the neighborhood. These friends make him or her feel comfortable and accepted. So when the family moves to another place, or to a different school, the child loses the friends and comfort he or she has established and forces them to start all over again. If the child cannot cope with this stressful situation, it can lead to episodes of anxiety attack.

Stress

Stress is linked to child anxiety attacks. It may be a result of heavy responsibilities at home and in school, unfinished tasks, physical and psychological abuse, a school bully, environment that is unfit for the child’s age, violence, etc. 

School Phobia and Separation Anxiety

When a child reaches a certain age, he or she may develop a school phobia. The exact reason for this is still unknown, but the child becomes excessively afraid of going to school. A child manifests this fear by creating reasons, and, complaining about ailments such as toothache, headache, and stomach cramps, to keep him or her from going to school.

School phobia is often linked to separation anxiety, but the latter can manifest itself in situations other than in school, e.g. being with a group of people, or, joining another family for the weekend.

Again, the exact reason for this is unknown. Separation anxiety is excessive fear of being away from someone whom the child is comfortable being with. Tell-tale signs of separation anxiety are similar to school phobia.

Indirect Reasons

In many cases, anxiety attacks in children just come out of the blue, or happen without any logical, clear or apparent reason. It may occur while the child is relaxed during the day and even while asleep. And may happen only once.

Perhaps a child’s anxiety attack is brought about by unresolved internal issues, which are not directly connected with the trigger. For example, a child who experiences a death of a loved one may panic whenever a certain, almost similar situation happens. The traumatic experience that he or she went through in the past, which are not processed properly, can come out, in this case through an attack.

A child may also have anxiety attacks because the problem at hand reminded him or her about some family conflicts. Fighting in the family, as well as divorce of parents, may be traumatic to a child such that, when witnessing a similar situation, they may suffer an anxiety attack. 

Take note that there is no single reason (and it takes several factors) for a child to have an anxiety or panic attack, but whatever it is, what’s important is how do deal with it properly.

The Fear of Having Anxiety Attacks

A key driver in causing anxiety attacks is the actual fear of having one. This continual fear of suffering another attack increases general anxiety and so can actually help trigger an attack.

It works something like this: anxiety attack > fear > increased anxiety > anxiety attack > fear > increased anxiety > anxiety attack, etc. It’s a vicious cycle of anxiety that needs to be broken in order to prevent futher attacks and cure general anxiety.

Dream Interpretation – A Serious Science You Must Learn

Consciousness is the comprehension of the meaning of your actions. For example, after understanding that you are a lazy person thanks to a dream warning, you cannot forget this truth. Even if you’ll keep being lazy, you’ll know that you are doing something bad. This is consciousness. Now, after understanding that you are doing something bad for you in your dreams, will you continue making the same mistake? No; you’ll stop being idiotic.
