[quote=jjconcern]My experience with anxiety with children at a young age (as a therapist and school psychologist) was more with shyness about social situations and  avoidance/ wanting to stay home from school so it surprised me to hear that it seems more anger and acting out issues as you reported that he/she was having more school behavior issues which appears to be  a problem with impulse control or situational stress.  Either way it sounds like you are getting parental coaching and therapy for him/her to help with the problem till school is finished in a couple of months.  You also mentioned that he would not want to leave his/her friends if pulled out of the school situation which sounds as though he likes school enough to   make social connections.   Has anything happened to family members or your living situation within the last few months that may be affecting his behavior since you describe that he/she was intense in the past but that your child started demonstrating these anger symptoms a few months ago.   Kudos to you for being sensitive to your child's issues and willing to seek help rather than just  hoping it will improve with time.  Hugs to you and your family[/quote]
