Abstract
Anxiety is a dysfunction of mental activity that is characterized by tension or discomfort derived from the anticipation of danger, something unknown or strange. However, children do not expose their feelings freely and are not aware of them, and their fears may be recognized as exaggerated. Anxiety Disorders (AD) in childhood can be recurrent due to several factors, such as gender, behavioral characteristics, environmental factors and family context. The family system is the first social structure in which the child is inserted, thus constituting the basis to promote their affective, social and cognitive development. Therefore, AD in children is capable of generating serious consequences, which can lead to immediate and long-term damage. Therefore, this work aimed to review the scientific productions about the consequences of anxiety in childhood and what is the relationship of family neglect in this process. For this, articles obtained from the Virtual Health Library (BVS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), EbscoHost and Google Scholar databases were used, with the descriptors “development”, “children”, “anxiety” and “family” with different combinations, using the Boolean AND operator. Having as defined inclusion criteria for the selection of articles: articles that are available in full online, in the years 2010 to 2023, articles published in portuguese and english. Exclusion criteria: articles published and duplicated in other databases and outside the recommended time frame. 21 articles were found that met the requirements specified for this research. Thus, we conclude that environmental factors and the influences of family life cycles are characteristics of the family structure that, when present in a maladjusted way, contribute to the development of anxiety in childhood.
