[quote=Anonymous]My son has anxieties and is at risk for depression.

He did some therapy when he was 9 to understand stress, recognize how it feels and learn to deal with it.

Summers are amazing. 
August I will see some signs of stress.
September is fine.
October my son begins to get stressed, you can see signs of depression.
By the end of the 1st marking period he is usually handling the stess okay.
Christmas time hits and all is good.
It is February and things are bad, but with the end in sight we are staying positive.
His grades will suffer over the next few months because it seems very overwhelming. I will give him a day off school here and there to catch up on missed assignments.
By spring he is doing better, happy the end is in sight. 
Teachers will load up on work because they realize that they are behind. May is crazy. We will miss a day or two so he can get all his work done.
June, glorious .... summer. All summer, he is happy and healthy. Around the end of August he will start to show some signs of stress.

Rinse / repeat.

Sometimes I go to his room, he has his head deep in a science/history/english assignment. I realize his has tears in his eyes. I let him skip the assignment or we go for a walk. [/quote]
