Settle big concerns for little minds
While we often view childhood as a carefree period it is important to understand that children are also susceptible to worries. Some children need extra encouragement to come out of their shell, or may find it more difficult to adjust to new situations, such as school and friendships. Overcoming shyness in children can be very difficult if not supported. No matter what the cause of worry, shyness or nervous behavior in a child, there are ways to support greater balance and functioning. With perseverance, a steady, easygoing, composed attitude will be more likely and overcoming shyness in children can be achieved. Recognizing child anxiety disorders can be tricky since the symptoms of anxiety in children are often different to those we observe in adults. Moreover, children of different ages and temperaments may display different symptoms.
Here are some tell-tale signs and symptoms of child anxiety:
Bedwetting
Nightmares or night terrors
Avoidance of certain activities (such as school or social events)
Being overly clingy and crying easily
Frequent feelings of panic and fear that disrupt activities
Constant worrying about future events
Difficulty making friends and being overly shy
Low self-esteem and lack of confidence
Fear of embarrassment
Fear of making mistakes
Compulsive behaviors (such as checking under the bed or in the closet before bedtime)
Extreme resistance to any change
Recurrent physical symptoms, such as stomach ache or headache, without an apparent cause
The Natural Way
Encourage your child to discuss his/her fears with you. Children who are encouraged to talk about their concerns and feelings, will feel comforted and less alone. By listening to your child, you may also discover what the underlying problem is and therefore find ways to help. Suggest that your child write a story or draw a picture of scary things, and look for clues to help you understand his fears better. Reassure and comfort your child. Children need lots of hugs and assurance that they are safe and understood. It is important to acknowledge their fears as being real to them and not trivialize their feelings. What children fear may seem silly to you, but that doesn’t make the emotion any less real. Watch out for your own anxieties and worries. In some cases, anxiety is a learnt response and children may be picking up on your tensions. You are your child’s best model for behavior!
Teach your child relaxation techniques like deep breathing during anxious moments, counting to 10 or self-soothing statements. These methods can help to empower your child and will provide the inner confidence needed to overcome the fears. Routines and plenty of warning before change can go a long way to making your child feel more secure and less anxious. Explain new situations in advance in a simple, friendly manner. (Try role playing to prepare for upcoming situations). Remind your child of old fears that they overcame. This will provide the courage and confidence to face current fears. Always praise children’s efforts and successes when they do confront these anxieties. Do not accommodate your child’s fears. If your child fears something, don’t purposefully avoid it as this will reinforce the need for escape and confirm the ‘reality’ of the danger. However, DO reassure your child and try to help him or her through the situation successfully.

How has K-OK Kiddie Calmer helped other children?
"My 5 year old daughter is a very nervous child always clinging to my skirts. When she started pre-school her teacher said that she was not settling in because she was shy and cried easily. I did not want to give her any strong medication, but nothing I did helped her. My sister told me about 'Kiddie Calmer' and I liked the idea of something natural. Well things have changed for my daughter. I think she will always be shy, but she is playing with the other children and is much happier at pre-school now."
