Hi NotherBen,
Thanks for sharing your story. How wonderful that you were able to persuade your DS to see a counselor. Also wonderful that he enjoys his school (despite his anxiety). It's hard to watch them go through all this isn't it?
I completely get the 8" taller and 30lbs heavier thing. We're way past the stage of being able to tuck them under our arms and taking them where we want them to go.
I have a pretty good read on what causes his anxiety - or what he lets me know anyway. It seems like he's turned a corner (see my other post) which helps with the school topics he is uncomfortable with. The teachers have been very good about taking his issues into account - so far. I imagine there's only so much they can do. I guess we'll deal with each of those as they come up.
So lucky to have this board to "talk" to. Thanks again for your comments and support.
