[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 611979, member: 14557"] My guess bit of age thing and mostly personality thing. Sounds a bit like his a big feeler, has a bent for dramatics and may have some perfectionism issues. Those are personality issues and cause often anxiety issues. And age he is, can be challenging, because expectations get so much bigger around that age. You are supposed to go from small kid to big k8id and that can be overwhelming. Depending on what other problems he may have (how is he socially with same aged, same sex peers? That is huge. How does he relate to his younger sisters? How is he academically? Any motor function or sensory issues?) you may want to consider having him an appointment with your paediatrician to talk about if you would need to have him evaluated further. Or if this kind of talk becomes more common. Other than that, try to create him lots and lots of opportunities to have to try something new, maybe train a little and succeed and use lots of positive enforcement to keep him trying. Persistent trying is a skill and can be learned. And it is very valuable skill to have. And helps to build self-confidence like nothing. [/QUOTE]
