[quote=Anonymous]Also - just a side note. You say you "won't physically force him." Which is understandable, but as my kid's therapist has explained, giving choices like that (saying to the kid "You don't have to go if it's too awful for you" is in effect like saying, "We don't believe you can do it" or "It is actually very scary and deep down we agree that it is too risky." You are sort of playing into his fears and may be exacerbating the situation. I would consult the therapist but I think that offering the choice is in itself anxiety provoking.[/quote]
