A feature article by Svitlana Krot, Head of the “SviTY” educational program of the KIDS OF UKRAINE charitable foundation, has been published on the TSN Life website, focusing on panic-related states in children and adolescents.
The material explains what a panic attack is, how it manifests in the body and nervous system, and why it is not a sudden condition but a response to accumulated stress. It also examines the role of adults during a panic attack — how calmness, consistency, and simple grounding and breathing techniques help restore a child’s sense of safety.
The article also highlights the early signs of panic states, the importance of an appropriate adult response, and the need to create a stable emotional environment in which a child is not left alone with their experience.
