[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,
We also struggled for many years between ages 4 and about 9.  But you know, time does help, sometimes they just need help with developing and time plays a big part in that.  Something that I think helped with the anxiety piece was play therapy.  I spent time, not a lot, like 15 minutes or so, every day with DC on the floor playing his games.  Action figures, legos, etc.  I did not lead it, but just "played."  That really helps keep things calm and opens up communication.  I would suggest it.  Also I got therapy for myself because I was so anxious that I could not really "control" DC.  I learned through therapy that you can't really control another person and I became a more relaxed and happy person.  You have to learn to say "so what" about the ruined Thanksgiving meal with the in-laws...  or the party you have to leave early...  you just say "so what" and move on.  Keep loving and working with your child and let them know that you love them unconditionally.  Hang in there! [/quote]

Not OP, but thanks for this post.[/quote]
