Health anxiety in children related to COVID-19
A child's cognitive ability to process and understand complex information is more limited and concrete in comparison with adults. This makes it more difficult for children to understand abstract information, such as a "viral"health-related threat. Cognitions typically center on the risk and likelihood of becoming ill with COVID-19, alongside thoughts of how catastrophic this could be (i.e. ultimately death of self/parent).
