Parents often wonder if their children with anxiety will outgrow their anxiety or if they will get worse over time. Some anxious children, if encouraged to face their fears, develop coping skills on their own as they mature. In that sense, they do outgrow their fears. On the other hand, children with anxiety that avoid their fears can become quite disabled by them. With prolonged avoidance of age-appropriate activities, valuable skills are lost and the children with anxiety become increasingly dependent on the few people to whom they relate. Often, family conflicts result due to poor coping skills. With increased family conflict and decreased ability to keep up at school and with peers, their self-esteem plummets.
this is very important issue which you discuss here. Some anxious children, if encouraged to face their fears, develop coping skills on their own as they mature.
