[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 252603, member: 1233"] I have found that thank you gets a lot of anxiety problems when his schedule gets changed a lot. Even if they change the schedule in school it can have problems. He gets much more sensory overload when he is anxious. We have used meditation tapes by Jonathan Parker simply because we have a TON of them. husband bought them before we married, but they still play and are excellent for getting the kids to relax and go to sleep. I even use them during my migraines because his voice is a great sedative and relaxer to me. I also have to forcibly limit thank you's extracurricular activities and outings to 1 per week. He can only have 1 activity at a time. This year it has been scouts, so no basketball. He must CHOOSE, because 2 activities and he really melts down more intensely and more frequently. his meltdowns are not rages like Wiz used to have, mostly he just falls apart and cries and yells until he gets a migraine. I think the stress eraser and some more techniques for relaxing. Maybe a yoga DVD to do when he is anxious? We were also advised by every therapist and psychiatrist that if one of the kids came home from school due to anxiety problems then they couldn't do afterschool activities that day. I don't always follow this. It often depends on the CAUSE of the anxiety for me. Gentle hugs to both of you. At least he apologized for all the anxious things he said. [/QUOTE]
