Panic Attacks In Children

Panic attacks in children – are they just another symptom of modern life, or is there something we can do about them?

Let’s face it, our childhood is usually supposed to be one of the most carefree, fun and enjoyable times of our lives, and until fairly recently, I think that was true for the majority of kids. These days however, peer pressure, parents and society in general place a tremendous amount of pressure on our kids, right from the beginning.

Panic attacks in children should be prevented rather than cured

A child today has a lot of pressure to be “successful”, whether it’s at school, on the sports field, or at home. There’s often discrimination and bullying to cope with, and learning to cope on their own from an early age because parents are more worried about their careers.

In addition to all these factors, children might also have to cope with deaths in the family, divorce, splitting up of parents, sexual abuse, unfair demands and pressure from their siblings, and the usual family quarrels in their own homes. Read more about Panic Attacks In Children →
