How Panic Attack Effects On Children

By Harry Constantine


Similar to adults, children undergo fear, anxiety and nervous tension. These are but natural emotional experiences that a person feels regardless of age. However, if anxiety becomes senseless, recurring and extreme, and anxiety attacks ensue without any apparent reason or the side effect is disproportionate to the problem at hand, it can be the cause of concern. That is why doctors advise at the first signs of problem, have your child get proper medical diagnosis by doctor to discard any probable causes and choose the right treatment to be applied.

Because anxiety attack may be any of the 5 types, it is critical to know what a child is going through. Parents are mostly blind to behavioral conditions as symptoms of a child's disorder, often thinking it being the child's normal attitude. Here are certain things to look out for to find out if your child could be having an anxiety attack:

Gush of overwhelming panic

Warm flashes

Troubled breathing or choking feeling

Thought of losing control

Feeling and worry over dying

Detachment

Feeling sick or stomach cramps

Hyperventilation

Quivering or trembling

Chest pain or heart palpitation

Not all children are very similar, what may seem as a standard in a child's attitude could be already one occurrence of an attack. This is certainly a bit tricky to ascertain if she or he is really developing an attack or otherwise. What should be done is to distinguish these symptoms and think of them as the reason for concern. Through the Linden Method junior treatment, parents gets the assistance their son or daughter needs to understand and deal with these symptoms.

The Linden Method describes therapies as holistic and organic, where prescribed medication for kids is not viewed as a solution.

There are several home treatment plan that can be done by parents in between therapy. Self-help techniques are discussed in the Linden Method review, treatment packs are filled with material that parents will use at home for managing child emotional tension. This is the very effective way to show parents strategies for effective parenting, which improve parent-child relationship and help build a child's self-confidence and self-esteem.

For some cases where trauma could be the source of anxiety, play therapy is one version of exposure treatment. This could be another effective child anxiety tool which uses the influence of play to get to the cause of anxiety and further help out the child practice control over triggered anxiety attack.

Different children of different ages or even of the same age could manifest different symptoms. Some of the symptoms given may be considered as the normal behavior of a child. To become more sensitive to a child's difficulties sets any parent in turn to support a child through this. Child anxiety is one occurrence which a child will not likely know how to handle.
