[quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much for the detailed reply!! Dd is super social and has always been, and she is well-liked by her peers but does come across as naive (she’s our eldest) which has made her a target for bullying (which is when we first noticed the anxiety).

She’s in a private school for “gifted” kids (I say that in quotes because the school has a wide range of kids, but they are mostly all creative, love learning and have individual passions). She loves theater and singing and is involved in those activities in and out of school. She’s not a sporty kid but is an excellent skier and does that a lot in winter months. It’s given her a lot of confidence as she’s better than the rest of the family and allowed a lot of freedom on the small mountain where we ski.

She’s 8, going into 4th grade in the fall. She is heading to sleepaway camp this summer (at her request) and school starts ramping up next year, so we are hoping to put a lot of additional help with executive functioning in place at the end of the summer. She’s not a disruptive kid, she tends to say dream and go off on tangents.

And thanks for the heads up about teen years - I’m already terrified! [/quote]
