Generalised Anxiety Disorder

Young children with Generalised Anxiety Disorder find it difficult to control their worries and feel distressed that they cannot stop worrying. This video explains the symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder and how that presents in young children at home, in school and in the community.

KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital has developed self-help videos for parents with preschoolers with anxiety. If your child is experiencing frequent anxiety that is interfering with his/her everyday life, and is not reducing with your efforts to support him/her, please talk to your child’s doctor or healthcare professional about seeking professional support with a psychologist.

Children with anxiety disorder are known to respond well to professional intervention. The psychologist can work with you and/or your child to develop a tailored approach to manage your child’s anxiety.
