[quote=Anonymous]We didn't do medication until much later, but we tried a number of things that did help. Things that helped: -More exercise and finding a sport -weighted vest-now controversial, but wasn't at the time -managing demands: e.g child could be advanced in math, but the increased demands caused great anxiety whereas being at top of math group was calming -Very healthy and clean diet, natural sugars-avoid table sugar, no artificial dyes, and all the woo woo stuff people roll their eyes at helped -OT -guided imagery, calming breathing -modeling managing anxiety by straying extra calm during stressful event and talking her/him through it [/quote]
