[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anxiety is a normal and helpful feeling, like stress, that one should not attempt to get rid of. Work instead on the reaction to those feelings. Indeed, they can be performance enhancers. [/quote]
Like a lot of people who never had to deal with serious mental illness themselves or with a family member, you have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]

Anxiety is not a serious mental illness. It is a normal emotion. Like happiness, sadness, contentment, doubt. [/quote]

You have NO idea what you're talking about.

OP, my kid is anxious too, and comes by it naturally (I have crippling GAD when not medicated).  He's gotten MUCH better with age - is only 7 but is like a different kid than he was at 4 and 5.  For him, the more he knows the better - it's uncertainty that throws him off.  So once we answer questions that he needs to know answers to to feel comfortable, he's generally ok.  Therapy has not been helpful for us though admittedly he has improved immensely on his own.[/quote]
