Answer to Question 1
Children with anxiety disorders employ more maladaptive and less adaptive cognitive coping strategies in response to stressful life events than nonanxious children. Their cognitive coping strategies rely more on catastrophizing (e.g., thinking that something is far worse than it actually is) and rumination and less on positive reappraisal and planning (Legerstee et al., 2010).
Answer to Question 2
The developmental course of OCD in young children indicates that they typically have obsessions that are more vague than those of older children and are less likely to feel that their obsessions are abnormal. Young children with OCD often ask their parents endless questions related to their obsessions and make no effort to hide their discomfort. Most children over 8 years of age are aware that their obsessions are abnormal, and they are usually uncomfortable talking about them. They may try to hide or minimize them or deny they have them, which frustrates parents who know that something is wrong and want to help.
