[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did play-based progressive school for our anxious youngster and whilst the anxiety was kept at bay at school, they didn’t learn much at all nor track well versus the rest of the class. We had to ask around to find that out. By 6th grade, it created anxiety due to being behind or in pullouts. I think the best way to quell anxiety is through confidence, support and skill building. Not by avoiding work, tests or competition. [/quote] I wouldn't rule out small progressive schools. My kid had some emotional regulation issues, but the teachers at Springwell (progressive, micro) held compassionate boundaries for building confidence, resilience and making sure my son did his work. He didn't always like it but by the end of the school year we were doing difficult math problems (that he was previously resisting) at bedtime, and above grade level! Can't beat the caring faculty there. Whenever I want to check in, they are there.[/quote]
