This 10 year old's behavior is outside of the range of normal. It is handicapping her socio-emotional development to a significant degree, and MUST be addressed, because all the smarts and diplomas in the world will not compensate.

As you suspected, this is a case for the pediatric psychologist, for a full evaluation, then possibly, the pediatric psychiatrist, for medication, if recommended by the psychologist. Additionally there may be specific therapies that will be recommended.

Good luck, OP.[/quote]

MEDICATION???  Are you kidding me?[/quote]

Sure, jump to the portion of my post where I say that this is a mere possibility, and one beyond my expertise. But every option has to be considered and discussed, that's just solid common sense.

My point, which hopefully you caught, is that you should consult a doctor about this. This isn't a plain old case of generalized anxiety. It's something to evaluate and treat (non medically for sure, but medically if need be) ASAP, because it will only get worse if you leave it alone.

I am the OP and that wasn't me.

I thank you and the others for advice. My DH and I have already spoken to her pediatrician about this and asked if she should see psychologist. Her pediatrician didn't think it was an issue beyond a sweet and sensitive little girl but we still think it may be a good idea just in case.

The advice about prayer and donating are very good ones! We are catholic and I feel this will help her feel like there is at least something she can do.

Also thank you for the advice about synesthesia. While I don't feel my daughter is having sensory hallucinations I will be sure to bring this up with her doctor. [/quote]
