them until they are much older. However, there are plenty of cases of childhood anxiety out there which each parent should be concerned about. Some sources can be avoided and others can not.
One of the biggest sources for childhood anxiety is divorce. It doesn't matter how well parents handle this, children are going to be anxious about it because it changes their world completely. What was once secure is now unknown, and children don't usually deal with that very well. Though parents should never stay together just for the children, since that can backfire, some give up too soon.

They may pick up nervous habits that you might see in adults, or they may flinch when people get near them. If you see any of those signs of childhood anxiety, it is best to get professional help as soon as possible so your child can go back to a happy childhood.
Children are supposed to be happy and carefree. At least, that is what most parents want for them.
