[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To PPs: what is the anxiety about eating at school usually rooted in? What does the child fear, in particular?[/quote] Kids with generalized anxiety disorders are often not scared of something specific. Instead they are in a generalized state of hyper vigilance/hyper arousal. Doing things in that state can be challenging, but it doesn’t mean that they are afraid of the specific thing they aren’t able to do. For example, let’s imagine that there is someone you idolize, maybe you are a cellist and Yo Yo Ma is your hero. You are invited to a master class with him. It starts with a reception, but you are too nervous to eat so you mingle with a glass in hand. You aren’t scared of the canapés. You aren’t scared of Yo Yo Ma. You might even be happy to be there, it’s just a lot. [/quote]
