Anxiety.....help

[susiestar]

Paula, I know your doctor appointment is coming up. Here is a format to keep info about your child and all the things you try/go through straight and in 1 place. It is called Parent Input or a Parent Report. It is very helpful to keep in a big 3 ring binder with pockets added. You can make copies for doctors, therapists, etc.. I would be careful with what info I gave school, some times (not often, but often enough for caution) the info is used against us or our children.

I hope you can get the help you ALL need!

Is she getting Occupational Therapist (OT)? Have you been using Occupational Therapist (OT) calming techniques? Some ideas might be sipping through a straw, weighted blanket, rice pillow, deep pressure from a pillow, swinging, snacks that are crunchy or have resistance (licorice), etc.

Distraction was my best deterent for stuck thoughts--even something simple like a tic tac when you're about to make a hard transition or taking the child out when you see meltdown coming could turn the tide.
