[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 48201"] We use what smallworld uses, too. TV. It's a distraction. The anxiety just feeds on itself. With my difficult child she doesn't feel good and/or she can't sleep. Then she's going to be tired in school. The she isn't going to be able to concentrate because she's tired or not feeling well. Then the teachers (her perception, not reality) are going to get angry because she's not concentrating/paying attention. Then the teachers are going to yell at her (again, not reality). In front of everyone. You get the idea. It's just this huge snowball effect. I've found that trying to talk about it only keeps the focus of the anxiety in the forefront. So, we use distraction and relaxation. Sometimes I'll lie down with difficult child. Sometimes I'll rub her back and hair and sing. Just depends on what she needs. We save the talking about it at another time. [/QUOTE]
