[quote=Anonymous]DS's teacher told me that he is very sensitive and gets upset at the slightest perceived criticism - whenever she corrects his work, no matter how gently, he tears up. Also she said he gets very defensive if she asks a simple question, such as why was he late to school. She did say that he rebounds quickly and is all smiles in relatively short order, but this still concerns me. She said he's also very affected by the highs and lows of the moods around him in the classroom. She described him as a very anxious kid (she said this with all kindness and in an effort to help). None of this was a surprise to me in that he acts the same way at home, but I was surprised that this has spilled into school. Any suggestions of books to read to help my DS be less anxious? Or other resources to try? Thank you. [/quote]
