[quote=Anonymous]I've posted this before... I was one of these kids.  Throwing up, crying before school, panicking for no reason, worrying over crazy/silly stuff, like whether we'd ever find our car again in a parking lot.  I was NUTS.  I am more relaxed in my 30s than I was as a 5 year old, if you can believe that!  And I've noticed my daughter is somewhat similar.  So my advice to you parents is:

Take a deep breath.  It's going to be ok.  It's not your fault.

I was like this, my poor mother had no clue what to do about it and pretty much couldn't do anything about it, and in the end everything is ok.  I'm married, I have a good job, my life is good, and I'm a very mellow, content person.  I think part of this is having to deal with those anxious feelings as a child, then teen, then college student - I had to resolve this issue in order to move on with my life.  And I did.

So keep it calm.  This may be something you cannot resolve FOR your kids, they may have to do it for themselves.  And that's ok.  Just model handling feelings for them.[/quote]
