[QUOTE="Andy, post: 406068, member: 5096"] I agree with Smallworld and Flutterby. I get that way myself. It is part of a perfectionistic tendency. Everything has to be so perfect, down to the tiniest detail. I can take the simpliest task and make it so overwhelming just like your difficult child is doing. I couldn't understand the big picture, the simplicity of it so would make it more complicated just to make sure it was how I understood the end result and that it would be correct. I think many kids with anxiety have a perfectionistic trait. If things are not just so they have a hard time handling it. Just last night difficult child told me that school is so hard, he just doesn't get a lot of it. Even though he is getting all A's and B's so on some level he is "getting it", just not at the level he is doing the work as - he is looking for more details to really grasp the materials. I think this assignment is a perfect example for therapist. I am very interested in how therapist proceeds - it could help my difficult child. [/QUOTE]
