For N I would say it is her Anxiety that makes her obsess over things for a long time. You can see how hard it is on her. It makes me so sad to watch her.
Even tonight, we have our Fall Festival for School, she has been obsessing for over a week about the *games* they have like the obstacle course, she is scared, but wants so badly to win a prize. SO we will work through this with her tonight and show her it is OK.... but it will start all over again with something else.
For K, I wish I could slow the Chaos down in her head. The racing thoughts, the confusion, the hallucinations all add to it. She has too much in that little head of hers at such a young age...
Her teacher has been having one of the really troubled G'sFG (T) stay with her at lunch in the class, she invites another child to come as well. They in turn get to invite one friend. SO it is 4 total. It is supposed to be *fun* not make T feel bad. She used K as the *good* difficult child example!!!
But K said to me last night, I hope I can always go to Miss. T's class at lunch, because it helps keep my head calm... less (she grabbed her head and shook it all over making a blaech sound)! She said it was better for her, less noise.
I am SO glad she see these things, but if I could take away just a little bit of the chaos I would....
