[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 231445, member: 3444"] Does his psychiatrist have any suggestions for something to give him PRN when he gets like this? I bet he really could benefit from regular counseling to help him learn some self-calming and coping techniques and to recognize when his anxiety is starting to escalate. It's hard enough for us as parents to remain calm in a potentially scary situation. My husband is usally the one to flip out when one of the kids gets hurt, and my instinct is to try to diffuse and counter his hysteria by remaining calm and unaffected by the chaos -- so I end up being accused of not caring! When in fact, I'm just as concerned but trying NOT to show my fear because I don't want a hysterical kid on my hand :rolleyes: I think the advice of taking his concerns seriously, but then helping him to methodically work through each one to learn why his fear is misdirected may help him a lot. It's because he is such a smart kid and can think of all the reasons why he should be afraid that he gets himself so worked up. Call his psychiatrist, though and get him busy working on a solution for this. No reason you all should have to continue suffering. [/QUOTE]
