Understanding and Managing Childhood Anxiety
- posted: Jul. 25, 2024
It’s tough being a kid, from academic pressure to friend issues to the pressure to perform in sports. At the Pediatric Medical Center of Lehigh Valley in Bethlehem and Easton, PA, we offer anxiety screenings and treatment for children with Dr. Ramesh Kadewari to help your child thrive.
Here, we’ll explore some of the things you need to know if you think your child may be experiencing anxiety.
What Is Childhood Anxiety?
Childhood anxiety is a feeling of persistent fear or unease. While these feelings are expected from time to time, such as before your child has a vital school test, anxiety that does not go away or that interferes with daily activities may indicate an anxiety disorder.
Managing Childhood Anxiety
Thankfully, there are many options when it comes to supporting children who are living with childhood anxiety, many of which can serve to provide a solid support structure that will help your child manage anxiety as they move into adulthood.
Sometimes, mindfulness exercises are enough to help children living with anxiety. Going through meditation practices with your child, providing encouraging affirmations, and creating an action plan when anxiety strikes can relieve symptoms for some children.
In other cases, however, medical intervention is needed to support your child’s well-being. When you come into the Bethlehem and Easton, PA, offices for an evaluation, we’ll talk with your child about their symptoms. We offer compassionate, respectful, understanding care to help your child feel comfortable and at home. We may recommend therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication to help your child thrive.
