[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 299854, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Andy, I didn't read all of the responses so sorry if I'm being a bit repetitive. Along with the medications is difficult child doing relaxation & other skills that will help him work thru the anxiety. You not feeding into is good - I was infamous for asking the tweedles if we needed to amputate when the anxiety & hurt over a scrap got out of hand. "Mom, you can't do that for a scrap". So how about a bandaid & a kiss? wm is using a notebook to work out the pros & cons of some things while using his art to self calm. kt is using her journal a great deal & reading to self calm. This has taken years of practice; years of constant reminding to use their self calming tools. And the tools have changed over the years. I've learned that the medication is just one small part in this process. Hope difficult child settles a bit before school starts. Maybe he needs to sit down & start writing a book on anxiety from the teen's point of view. Hmmmmmm. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
