[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the responses but my son, who has generalized anxiety, becomes very controlling and even defiant when he is experiencing a lot of anxiety. I had to train myself to understand what we were dealing with because punishment did not help AT ALL in any way shape or form. I try to remind myself how natural it is for a person, who feels out of control, to try to regain control. I am not advocating for you to give in to child's demands, or let child avoid what she doesn't like--this is every bit as unproductive as punishing child for feelings. I suggest getting some advice from a therapist who specializes in anxiety. We did and it was wonderful and life-changing for us. [/quote]
