[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 318617, member: 3444"] What about a low dose (like 10mg) of propranolol/Inderal or something like that? Our psychiatrist rx'd it for difficult child 1 to help with anxiety last year when he seemed to be shutting down in some of his larger classes... although he felt it was more of the panic/overwhelmed type of anxiety. It seemed to help a bit. FWIW, difficult child 1 is in the same grade level as your A, and he's having some of the same "I-don't-like-my-class" issues in a couple classes. Does A have any extra-curricular activities she looks forward to at school? Sometimes getting them involved in a club or team sport or some other "fun" activity can help balance out the stuff they don't like about their day and make it more bearable. It gives them a sense of belonging and fitting in (that may be part of the boyfriend jealosy thing you are seeing -- not so much wanting a boyfriend but wanting to feel like she fits in. There are other ways of fitting in that don't hinge on your identity being connected to someone else). For difficult child 1, he's involved in orchestra and the lacrosse team. And he's been enjoying going to the dances (solo). This seems to be a tough adjustment year for our kids. Almost as bad as middle school! [/QUOTE]
