[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] Agree. This was the first thing our therapist recommended doing, too - start small with things like ordering food, saying hi to friends, paying for things in the store, etc., once they master those things than the next level up doesn't seem as hard.
