Anxiety symptoms cause a strong sense of anxiousness, hesitation, panic and distress. It may be normal for individuals to

feel some of these types of feelings occasionally, although when individuals feel these anxiety symptoms often, it is commonly associated with having an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety in children may occur due to stressful

situations such as school, the loss of a loved one or moving. These are some of many different causes of anxiety in children.

If parents believe that a child is suffering from anxiety symptoms, it is very important to get a prompt diagnosis and to identify the source of the issue as early as possible.

According to Anxiety Disorders Association of America, if left untreated, children with an anxiety disorder are at a high risk of performing poorly in school, developing poor social skills and possibly turning to substance abuse. This is why it is crucial that parents do everything they can to help their children with anxiety symptoms. — psychologytoday.com
