[quote=Anonymous]We just went through this with our 10 yr old for the second year in a row. A few things to consider that helped us. First talk to school and get their support. Instead of forcing him to do a full day we integrated him slowly over a 5-7 day period. First day goal was to do one class. 2nd day was two classes and so on. We also had the school assign a point person to walk him into school/class everyday. This person was one of the school counselors. When in class he was allowed breaks, and was also allowed to talk to the school counsel if he said his anxiety was high. We also started on meds. For us Prozac seems to have helped. But we also gave him propananol in the am while the Prozac was ramping up. The Propananol kicks in very quick to lower your heart rate, which supposedly helps with anxiety. It’s hard OP, good luck.
