[quote=Anonymous]I am a NP and I am kinda jumping in here to ask 2 questions since I have a 7yr old who has mild anxiety but it seems to creep up more and more.

1.  What point do you feel the anxiety got so bad that you needed to look outside basic help books and try and manage it outside the home?

2.  Did your child get more anxious about seeing the therapist and his/her perception of themselves?  My main concern is therapy for someone that might not really need it would backfire and they would think they are "different" or "not normal."

Thanks - I really appreciate it.  My youngest is so different from my others.  She is so smart, so well spoken to adults, leads with kids, accepts and plays with any friends, loves the spotlight most of the time.  But other times, she is so clingy, needy, always has a pain/injury, and will sometimes completely blow off her friends and acts nervous.  She does ask anxious type questions sometimes but she doesn't seem to dwell on it.  She is night and day sometimes.  She does have mild SPD but I wonder if that causes some anxiety or she does certain SPD behavior, to relieve anxiety.
