[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to assume he's tried the coping techniques that he was taught as a third-grader? If not, then the "5 things you see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste" might be helpful. Also lying down flat on his back and singing can do something neurological that helps calm the amygdala. Google some other techniques. My daughter also has "toxic waste" candy to put in her mouth when she feels anxious -- it redirects the brain to the super sour taste and stops the anxious thoughts. [/quote]
