[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start making her step out of her comfort zone in normalized settings. Ordering her own food at a restaurant for example. Sending her into the grocery store etc[/quote] I could have written this. My kid was so anxious about a new middle school among other things. We started with driving by it, then in the parking lot, etc. we worked with a therapist, this worked to get him from refusal to nervous and he loved the school.[/quote] Meant to add; we also had him practice ordering for himself, then 7-11, had to work our way from me standing next to him at the register to waiting outside while he did the transaction.[/quote]
