[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 454078, member: 11791"] I'd call it "paranoid". As in - based on real past experiences, NOT on "cognitive distortions". We've been there done that. Emotional and mental wellness issues are JUST AS IMPORTANT as "medical" ones. Maybe more. And very debilitating. In fact, the way the school is reacting amounts to him being bullied by the TEACHERS. And he's supposed to trust them? and work with them? and just be "normal"??? Hmmm... Can you use this time to try to find out which particular parts of the day are a problem (lunch and recess vs. classroom, for example, or problems in PE but not English) What kind of strategies can you start coming up with? Even for him to be able to capture and document the issues? Anxiety based on real past experience is best handled by creating new coping strategies. Because the problems are AT SCHOOL, there is no way to make progress without school's involvement. in my humble opinion. but I'm just a parent, of course. [/QUOTE]
