[QUOTE="totoro, post: 239738, member: 3155"] Sorry This is so hard. It is just never enough for our kids though. We do more, they want more. We do less, they want more. It is a fine line we walk. Letting them find their way, yet not letting them get worse. The anxiety is just so hard on our kids. K has days when I barely raise my voice and it sends here spiraling, hiding in her room under the covers! How do you prepare for these things. How do you help them get over these things? I am lucky because the girls get along still. So I can work with them together. I have also recently found that painting is really helping K again. The clay and paint. I don't even care if it makes a mess. I have a station set up where it is layered with plastic on the floor so she can go and paint whenever she wants. I just get her little brushes and cups out. I have an old long button up dress that she puts over her clothes. Sometimes I will sit and watch while she paints, I have a book on hand. N paints or plays with clays as well. I save paper and have pens, crayons etc out where she can have access to them any time also. K is also really into Mandalas. I found a couple of books of them, but you can print them up and she can color them in. It is very relaxing. And pretty! Also, K loves to grow herbs and little plants from scratch. it can be pretty cheap to start. Hang in there. I think the Occupational Therapist (OT) is maybe going to a good thing for her. have you ever looked into Horse Therapy for her? K did it for a year, it was the best! The Horse Therapy and Occupational Therapist (OT) were the best! We are on a waiting list for Horse Therapy here. [/QUOTE]
