[quote=Anonymous]This absolutely does sound like social anxiety, and if you can look at it through that lens and talk to her about it, I think that will help. Look for books or YouTube videos about it to review with her. She needs to know if she does have it, and what concrete steps to take to manage it. I was not a kid that would ever get up in front of the class, but was fine in a team setting, and I do get where she is coming from. It’s important for her to have help challenging the anxious voice inside that is imagining terrible things that others are thinking about her and she needs to challenge the catastrophic thinking that can go on. She has to learn to talk back to it once she realizes what is going on in her brain. It’s so important for kids to understand that there is a name for what they struggle with and that they are not just weird or somehow broken. Best of luck to you.[/quote]
