Childhood anxiety is a prevalent disorder affecting several children of all ages. The population being served will be in children between the ages of 3 and 12 years old who suffer from anxiety disorders.
The treatment of anxiety in children is dependent on the developmental level of a child and those factors need to be assessed in assessing and treating the child (Barrett, 2000). Additionally, anxiety disorders among children can also lead to lifetimes of different issues or disorders if not treated effectively (Bittner, Egger, Erkanli, Costello, Foley, and Angola, 2007).
As I continue researching, I may narrow down the type of anxiety or have anxiety disorders due to trauma.
