[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 352297, member: 4040"] Is he getting pressure from friends at school or on one of the teams that's adding to his personal stress? Does he have personal goals set, or will nothing but the best do? Is his schoolwork adding more pressure? When are the confirmation classes over? Will he be changing schools next year? Miss KT is a worrier. She can only handle one issue at a time, and freaks out if everything is not planned and orderly every day, and for every day to come. For example, she wanted to go away to college next year, and we toured the campus last December. Our cell company did not have service there, and I told her to relax, that either they'd put in a tower, or she could change providers right before she left. HUGE meltdown, because there was a problem that she couldn't solve RIGHT THEN, even though it didn't need to be solved until August. And now? She's staying home for another year. I wish I had an answer for you; but I agree wholeheartedly with your decision to have him continue participating in his activities. I've tried breaking things down into manageable chunks for Miss KT (still have to do it sometimes), and that does work some of the time. Other times, my "interference" causes a greater meltdown.
