[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 354821, member: 805"] hanging, welcome back to the site! I'm not really sure I can make a sensible reply because I'm don't know what is really going on with your daughter. What is her diagnosis? Has she ever been on medications? At 10, the decision to take medications is yours, not hers. Why would your sister be talking to your daughter about meeds? I would nip that right now and let your sister know that you appreciate her love for your daughter, but discussions about medical treatment is off limits - period. Since your daughter is in a Special Education room, one idea is to make sure you daughter comes home with her assignments. The teacher could sign off on it and then make sure your daughter puts what she needs in her backpack. Set up a structured time and place for homework - no distractions (tv, etc.). Sit there with her if she needs you to redirect - read a magazine and take a break yourself while she is working. What kind of suggestions does her therapist have for this increased anxiety? How do you know it's the upcoming assessments that are setting her off? Sorry that I have more questions that suggestions - but it's generally like that with a new poster! Congrats on the new job!
