Anxiety is the reaction of the individual against events or people that do not pose a direct threat, as a result of seeing them as threatening enough. It is often confused with fear and used interchangeably. To explain the difference between the example; If a drooling dog appears in front of us on the way home, what we feel at that moment is fear. If we are going to use the same road again another day, it is a sign of anxiety to think 'what if a dog comes across me again' before we get to that road.
The biggest cause of worldwide anxiety is school success and this is accompanied by anxious parental behaviors. Although medications may provide benefits, studies show that teaching anxious children coping skills provides a more lasting improvement. The reactions of children, adolescents and even adults to anxiety vary according to their personality traits and developmental levels.

If your child is experiencing anxiety for their age, they may be safe from an abnormality we can't talk. However, if anxiety causes him to be successful, to go out, to communicate with people, to stay at home even though he can't stay alone, etc., you can consult a specialist to learn coping skills.
If you're describing it as such, stop and take a look at yourself. Can you be an anxious parent too? Anxiety is not an emotion we feel from the moment we are born, it is an emotion we learn from the people around us afterwards. And a variety of methods to keep it under control can produce fast results. If you are the cause of your child's anxiety, do him a favor and take steps to deal with it.
