Manifestations of Agoraphobia in the Classroom
from:When your child is very normal and behaves rationally every time except on times when they hear that they will be brought to the school and starts panicking - think. In fact it will even be better if you investigate deeper.
On most occasions, kids will really try hard conquering their fears but the attack is there nonetheless. And so children will cling to your legs and would not want to be separated, will cry and will beg you not to bring them to their classes.
Often their day will start bright enough until you tell them of bringing them to their class. Panicky symptoms will start to set in like sweating, trembling, hardness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea and general discomfort. At the moment that you allow them to stay in the house the symptoms disappear.
Other children suffering from agoraphobia in the classroom will start the day right and be fine. They will ride on the bus and be normal, until they are told to get into the classroom. Then they panic.
There are many variations to agoraphobia in the classroom. When not recognized for what it really is, many adults will treat it with minor concern. Everyone at one point or another in their lives have had the urge to refuse going to school and the tendency for most parents will often be to force the child to get into the classroom treating incidents like these as temporary concerns. To the child though, the terror is real and the tantrums are a cry for help.
Let me cite other examples that could be manifestations that your child has classroom agoraphobia.
Some children with agoraphobia in the classroom will actually join the class. Not much of a problem there. However they are more likely not to stay long enough to finish the day that the teacher will start being concerned about the looks on the child and start calling for the parents to bring their child home.
Other children can actually stay the whole day without exhibiting much of the symptoms but they cannot stand being left alone by their moms or a change in teachers or field trips. If the child cannot stand being separated from their mothers even when there is no tangible reason that is apparent, the child could be having what is usually termed as Separation Anxiety Disorder.
Separation Anxiety Disorder is the worry about being away from home and from parents. Agoraphobia and panic attacks often go together and are very common in children especially those who are currently suffering from separation anxiety disorder.
It is usual for example in a preschooler (of about four years old) to be anxious at being separated from his mother for a few weeks. However it may no longer be normal for a child to constantly be worrying of separation from the mother after the child has been fully integrated into the classroom.
Agoraphobia in the classroom could also be extended to the child's anxiety when there is a change in classrooms, riding in other people's cars, not attending parties, being hesitant in going anywhere and are happiest when they are at home and are secured.
When the child is showing these manifestations, it would be advisable to consult a pediatrician or a child psychiatrist just to be on the safe side.
When not treated early, children suffering agoraphobia in the classroom will lead to total school refusal and the other complications that could result from anxiety disorders.
