[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While medication has its place -- my child is on anti-anxiety medication -- it's not the first thing to try. So I would start with a psychologist/therapist instead of a psychiatrist. I really like the therapists at the Sibley Group (https://thesibleygroupdc.com) although I don't know if they work with kids as young as 6.[/quote] This. We just took my 7 year old to a therapist who specializes in anxiety in kids. She taught him all sorts of coping methods and how to identify when something was anxiety. He was in therapy for about 8 months, weekly, then every other week, then monthly. He is doing great now and we have stopped therapy for now. You don’t need to run to a psychiatrist immediately.
