I'm sorry this is happening to your 10 year old. My panic attacks started when I was an older teen. Long-term, I found that regular yoga and mindfulness helped me a lot. I know that there are kid's yoga and mindfulness classes in the area - Circle Yoga in NW DC does this. Chevy Chase elementary school has even integrated it in their daily school life! What's important is to be very self-aware and be able to parse out what is triggering an attack, and how to self-talk into reasoning it to a manageable level of anxiety. This took me years to achieve, but then I had no support. Yoga and mindfulness are respectively physical and mental exercises to develop self-awareness.

Depending on the frequency of her attacks, this could be in addition to more emergency measures and conventional therapy for her anxiety.

Big hugs to your daughter. 
One more thing - I'm sure she's quite academically capable. Placing her in a less academically-demanding environment would really be a last resort.[/quote]
