[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 607605, member: 2196"] Anxiety is definitely a huge component with easy child. He gets anxious with loud noises and around people he doesn't know. I have social anxiety myself so I can empathize with him. I hope he can make a friend. Today was his first day at the new school. I feel bad because I have to drop him off so early. I have to be to work by 7:30, so I take him to school by 7:15. School starts at 8:40 four days a week and on Wednesdays it doesn't start till 9:40. The cafeteria doesn't even open till 9 on Wednesdays, where he goes to get his breakfast. Poor easy child was texting me from outside the school while I was at work. He was nervous because he forgot how to get his free meals from the cafeteria. I reminded him that he needs to put in his ID number into the little machine they have. He was worried he would mess it up. He texted me later this morning and said he figured it out and was able to get his breakfast, thank goodness. Then he forgot what his PE teacher looks like, and he was afraid he would stand in the wrong line at the gym. I told him to ask one of the other kids but he's so shy I know he won't ask for help. Hopefully he figures it out and doesn't get lost. I was so totally nervous for him today I had butterflies in my stomach! [/QUOTE]
