[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 301878, member: 7083"] The big thing is she's not avoiding school - or refusing to go. She even managed to sleep last night. I helped her pack her gym bag this morning - it got to be too late last night. One of the things that is also bothering her is that she doesn't have time to go to her locker until 2 classes after gym so she's carrying her school bag, which is heavy enough, plus her gym bag. I helped her pick a bag that was just big enough for her clothes and gym shoes and could be carried in her hand. Fortunately, she has lots of bags to choose from. :) She was feeling sick from anxiety this morning. I told her that it's just a few minutes out of the day. She replied that it would be tomorrow and the next day and so on, too. And I told her that it was just a few minutes out of the whole day and that it would get easier and that I knew she could do it. She's making a lot of progress. It wasn't that long ago that this situation would have created a meltdown of epic proportions and flat out school refusal. I am proud of her maturity and her strength to overcome. [/QUOTE]
