[quote=Anonymous]Just want to mention - I think the 5-6 year old age group experiences quite a bit of fear and anxiety. My DS (6) is definitely there. He follows me around the house now - would never have done that when he was younger. I remember being extremely self conscious at the age of 6. So it might be developmental. In the meantime, I suggest you let him know that everyone has fears - it's normal, but don't let it stop you trying the activities. Suggest ways you can help him (e,g. go on the ice with him for a bit). Discuss it in advance - what can you both do to help him make it happen? And don't forget to talk to him after he's done something he was scared of - I.e. see how it wasn't as bad as he expected ?[/quote]
