[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 247035, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]All I can offer is redirection. When difficult child is escalating with anxiety & other situations, redirect her if you can. The same with her researching & reading about all the mental illness symptoms. While it's okay for an adult a young teenager might not be able to process the information in the way it's given ~ especially via internet. For kt, I've had to limit where & when she gets on the internet. Research for school is one thing; research about her disorders means an adult is there to help explain & break down the information. Mostly, I redirect for any anxious behaviors ~ move it from books or the computer to the kitchen to bake cookies; to watch a movie with popcorn. The last couple of weekends we've had together I helped kt build a fort in the living room because she was too anxious to fall asleep in her room alone. (husband was always just one door away in his office as kt was falling asleep.) Positive thoughts that help comes through soon. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
