Social Anxiety In Children - How Parents Can Help Their Child
Children who have social anxiety disorder typically have parents who chose not to acknowledge the problem. Many parents would rather ignore the issue than face it head up. Whether it is a stigma for the child who has it or whether it is a stigma for the parents, they decide that the problem will go away on its own. In actuality, the problem is bound to get worse.
It is being found that many more children are being diagnosed with this disorder and most being distinguished before their 10th birthday.
For children, symptoms are not totally specific and cannot be seen as well. In fact, children who have this disorder, they will be showing various signs that are seen with social anxiety disorder. Should you be concerned, there are several signs that need to be watched out for.
Signs That Parents Should Look For -
* Throwing tantrums
* Often crying
* Poor eye content
* speaks softly or seldom talks
* Avoids going to school
* Wanting to be alone
* Anxiety attacks
With so many different ones, parents and children alike really need to keep a watchful eye out for those symptoms.
Once it has been diagnosed, parents can do many things that can help their child out. In many cases, parents will seek professional help in treatment options, choosing what is best for their child. However, there is a small catch. For children, there is no specific treatment plans that can be recommended by the physician. Depending on the type of social anxiety disorder the child is inflicted with and how the parents want to treat it, depends on how the child will get "well".
In the beginning, parents will ask a professional's help for the child's treatment. The first approach is to try many different treatments without medication. Oddly enough, using simple socialization tactics can often times help the child more than if they were treated with medicine.
One tactic could be to place their child in a room full of people so they can be used to being in huge groups with a large stack of different activities. This is one way to get them kids to start socializing. If you put the child in a socialization structured situation with various activities, then it is the best shot to cure the social anxiety disorder without medicine.
However, if the parent has done everything possible without medication, it is time to talk to a professional and get their second opinion. In many cases of natural remedy failures, medication is recommended. Yet, this is not always the best case for the parents, the school and most of all, the student.
It does not matter how the family and child handles this disorder as long as the parents and child recognize there is a problem. Most of all, parents need to remember that there is always a reason for everything and that everything you do for your children is in there best interest so long as you are not in denial.

Is this a sign of anxiety in children?
A child talks all the time and follows the main care giver around all the time. Unable to entertain self and needs constant reassurance that everything is ok and needs to know what is going on and when things are going to happen. He is very chatty to strangers and yet is hugely sensitive to rejection, desperatly trying to please. Would you be concerned if a close member of your family were behaving like this (aged 5) or is this normal? There are huge stresses in his life but they are on the whole kept away from him but he must being picking up on the dramas at home etc. Would these 'symptoms' be of concern or are they regular for a 5 year old.
Although children experience the symptoms of anxiety in much the same way as adults do, they display and react to symptoms differently. This can lead to difficulties in diagnosis, and it may be difficult to determine if a child's behavior is "just a phase" or whether it constitutes a disorder.
As said by the contributor above, the symptoms you describe seem to point to 'separation anxiety', which is normal in children aged 18 months to 3 years old. Usually 4 years old and above can cope with being separated from parents. In your case, the children is 5 years old, that could be construed as separation anxiety disorder, which affects about 4% of children.
