Overview

"The present investigation is centered on the ""Effect of selected yogic practices in alleviating the anxiety of primary school students"". Anxiety is typically a wide-reaching the problem that usually begins in childhood. When ignored, anxiety can profoundly affect a child's life functioning. Children and teenagers have anxiety in their lives, similar to adults, and these can certainly be afflicted by anxiety disorders in a similar way. Stressful life events, such as beginning school, relocating, or the absence of a mother or father, can trigger the onset of an anxiety disorder. On the other hand, current research points out that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with antidepressant medication is the most significant, empirically helpful technique for treating the ailment. However, this treatment is probably not an attainable decision or first pick among the individuals who require it. A large number of children are devoid of typical treatment due to which they suffer insecurities and many psychological problems. Children with developmental delays can possibly be considered poor patients for the cognitive restructuring factor of CBT as a medication is mandatory for the treatment of these problems (Weissman, 2008). But due to the potential side effects of these medications, some mental health professionals and parents are interested in alternative interventions. Research referring to using yoga or meditation (mindfulness) as an intervention for children has made positive results. However, combining the two approaches for the treatment of anxiety in children in a school setting lacks substantial research evidence."
