Kecemasan Berlebih Pada Anak Usia 4 Tahun di Daerah Kabupaten Tanggamus
Abstract:
Excessive anxiety in young children is a crucial issue in children's mental health that significantly impacts their overall development. This study aims to investigate a case of excessive anxiety in a 4-year-old child identified as BA in Tanggamus Regency. The research methodology involved direct observation and interviews with BA's parents and caregivers. Observations were conducted in various play environments familiar to BA, such as at home and in playgrounds, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of his behaviors and emotional responses. The findings indicate that BA often exhibits significant signs of anxiety, including irrational fears, exaggerated reactions to play situations, and a high dependence on adults. Factors suspected to influence BA's anxiety include child temperament, changes in family environment, and limited social interaction with peers. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach in addressing anxiety in young children, involving active roles from parents, educators, and mental health professionals. Recommendations for intervention include structured play therapy and tailored psychological support sessions for BA's specific needs. Educating parents and educators on recognizing and managing childhood anxiety is also crucial to supporting optimal child development. With appropriate approaches, it is hoped that BA and his peers can manage their anxiety and grow into emotionally stable individuals in supportive environments in Tanggamus Regency
