[quote=Anonymous]I see a pattern your post where you go to an outside source -- teacher, doctor -- to resolve something. That's a negative consequence for the kid, and also doesn't give her control over her situation, which feeds anxiety. So for example, if she says a classmate is mean, start with just listening (she may just need to vent), reflecting back and asking how she feels. Then move to, What can she do in the moment when someone is mean? Do some role play, empower her to deal with it herself and manage her own reaction to someone else. If you really think the teacher needs to be involved, you can contact the teacher without telling DD.[/quote]
