[quote=Anonymous]Anxiety is a terrible illness. It requires patience and love by the parents. He needs to be shown that you care, not by punishing him. Punishing kid with anxiety always back fires. First you need to take him to a psychiatrist and talk about medication being more effective than pot for treating it. Then you have to be with your child all the time when he is not in school. Yes, I quit my job. I don't regret it. You need to go for dinners and lunches all the time with your DS, on the weekends, evenings. You need to stop letting him go out. He is also doing this for attention, you see that right? I have dealt with a child with severe anxiety since he was 4 years old. My DS is in college and just got into business school and he also has an LD. Yes, he also started drinking in college,(which might be normal for all college kids) and says things like "it makes me feel better." He had a major crisis just this last school year, but not with grades and to the point that I was going to drive to college and pick him up and bring him home. All this can happen even if you are fully engaged parent to a child with anxiety. Please ask any question if you think I can help.[/quote]
