[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 273640, member: 84"] The art classes are a good idea. And she ought to enjoy them. :) And getting back into normal school with kids her own age will be a very good thing for her, both now and in the long run. And I'm sure you could use the break yourself! :D Nichole used to have very high levels of anxiety. (not as bad as your difficult child but pretty bad) Meanie that I am, I made her face it head on, all the time. And she sure let me know just how mean I was too. lol Years of battles with it, but you know.......I honestly don't think she has it much these days. Same approach I've always taken with mine.......and it keeps mine under control. At some point difficult child has to learn to cope with the rest of the world. Scary as I know that is for her. But with each accomplishment, she'll realize even if it was hard she got thru it. And each time it gets a teensy bit easier. We had a girl that played with the kids who lived down the street from us for years. She had horrid anxiety similar to the level your difficult child has. She was homeschooled all thru grade school and jr high. Finally her mom couldn't do it anymore. Dealing with teens all day is rough. And sent her to hs to "deal". We had moved out of the neighborhood by then. But of course being a small town the kids all went to school together. I see this girl all grown up now.....off at college and OMG I can't believe it's the same person! She just took off in hs. :) I hope difficult child is able to do the same. She is such a cool kid, with alot to offer. I liked her the moment we met. (and I don't do that with just anybody) Hugs [/QUOTE]
