Comments on: Causes of Child Anxiety http://www.conqueryouranxiety.org/causes-of-child-anxiety/ How To Stop Anxiety Attacks And Panic Attacks Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:26:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: tamarchansky http://www.conqueryouranxiety.org/causes-of-child-anxiety/comment-page-1/#comment-201 tamarchansky Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:33:22 +0000 http://www.conqueryouranxiety.org/?p=84#comment-201 Hello, I am a child psychologist specializing in the treatment and prevention of childhood anxiety disorders, and I want to thank you for your article. I'd like to add that some children are born "wired" with a "what if" or "what's wrong" orientation to the world. Some of this is genetic and likely a carryover from times when we needed to be more on the alert to simply sustain the species. Taking a "no-fault" approach to anxiety, children can learn (and parents too) had to hear anxiety's take on a situation as their "first thought"-- fast but not accurate, and learn to cultivate a "second thought" which is accurate and more adaptive in the situation. I have written a popular book on this subject for parents and professionals: Freeing Your Child from Anxiety: Powerful, Practical Solutions to Overcome Your Child's Fears, Worries and Phobias. The interested reader can see an excerpt at www.freeingyourchild.com. Thanks for keeping this important topic on the radar for parents.
