[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 392521"] Haozi, anything that is new will trigger anxiety for difficult child. He started middle school this year and I think that if he had not been on the Celexa at the start of the school year getting him to go would have beem more difficult that it was. The school gave the new 6th graders two weeks to get used to the lay out of the school before they started marking kids late to class. On the morning of the first day that they were going to start marking kids late difficult child left they house to go to the bus stop and was literally shaking like a leaf on a tree. I called the guidance counselor to ask him to check on him because he was so upset and nervous. The GC was super! He talked to him, told him that if he had any problems and thought he was going to be late to come and see him and he would give him a pass so he was not marked late. difficult child could not have been happier with the help and reassurance he got. Anything out of the ordinary will trigger anxiety. Anything unknown. Like I said, have I seem a huge difference in behavior? No. Not really. He tantrums more when he does not get what he wants than from things that are causing anxiety. Last night it was because I told difficult child that easy child was going to stay home with dad while we went to Subway to pick up dinner. difficult child wanted him to come. He didn't get his way and didn't get into a full blowm tantrum, but he was angry because he wanted something and his father and I said no. That is mostly what the problem is.
