behaviour management

By Charles Abner

Is it a generally held view that tension and anxiety cause stammering in some children?
No. People (including researchers) are misled because there is no strong evidence that those who stammer are more tense or anxious than those who don't. Other children can be just as tense as those who stammer, but instead of releasing tension through a stammer they have some other outlet for it, e.g., ardent thumb-sucking. (Children express their tension and anxiety through a wide range of personality traits.)Nitrous oxide / oxygen (laughing gas) is a very common analgesic / anxiolytic agent used in the pediatric dental offices. It is colorless and has a faint, sweet smell.

Can children experience anxiety disorders?
Yes, children, like adults, may experience anxiety disorders. Often a child's anxiety stems from an occurrence that has happened in the past or from the influence of a parent. For example, if a child is outside on a windy day, and the wind blows a trash can that hits the child, the child might worry that every time the wind is blowing, a trash can will hit him/her. The child begins to stay inside and won't go out unless he/she is sure the wind is not blowing.Yes, children, like adults, may experience anxiety disorders.

Q Is there a program for anxious children?
A Yes. Based on years of experience and discovery, our LifeSkills anxiety program has been especially designed for children. This unique and insightful program helps the child to overcome his or her fears and concerns. We have tried to include answers to common questions on this page and in other sections of this website that new visitors may have in seeking solutions to their struggle with anxiety.Anxiety disorders affect approximately one in every 10 children and cause significant distress and interference in the lives of the children they affect.

Why is mediation helpful?
Mediation provides mothers and fathers an opportunity to create a model to continue to be parenting partners in a reorganized family. Children particularly suffer from the stress and anxiety associated with separation and divorce. Parents are assisted in affirming their affection and concern for the children while working on parenting plans that reduce the normal fears and anxieties of children concerning the loss of one parent.Children with severe anxiety and/or the inability to relax are candidates for general anesthesia. Usually these children are young or have compromised health issues and helping them control their anxiety is not possible using other methods.First, be sure that all of your keywords are spelled correctly. Exclude punctuation, articles (a, an, the, etc.) and prepositions (for, of, to, etc. ).

Are there other problems or disabilities associated with ASDs?
Children with ASDs may also have other developmental disabilities such as mental retardation (also called intellectual impairment), epilepsy, fragile X syndrome or tuberous sclerosis. Some children may also have psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some children may have attention deficits, sensory issues, sleep problems, and gastrointestinal disorders. It is important to remember that children with ASDs can get sick or injured just like other children.There are 4 distinct lessons that are designed to be "unlimited". Suggestions are given for variations on each lesson so that you can use them over and over again.
