Like adults panic attacks in children occur as well. Unlike adults they have yet to develop the maturity required to even begin to cope with them. We know how disturbing these attacks can be to an adult. How much more frightening must they be to our young? Children need as much understanding and help from their parents as they can get, and finding a treatment for the young can often be difficult.

Panic Attacks in Children: To be able to assist your child you need to be able to recognize the triggers of an attack and develop a response that the child can learn so that, over time, they can build a strategy that works for them. Look for signs like trembling, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, dizziness and feeling feint. Any of these may be a sign that your child is suffering from irrational and unprovoked fears that cause panic attacks.

Finding A Treatment: The key to helping your child is in early recognition. If you can spot the onset of an attack early enough then a mix of comfort and distraction will help. The greatest source of comfort for your child is most likely to be the security of a parent’s love. Combine that with effective distraction of your child’s attention toward something that you know triggers happy secure feelings.
