Anxiety is a tough one - but there are some tools and techniques you can teach your DS that might help.

Anxiety BC is a good place to start - they have a good explanation of what it is, as well as tips, techniques, and so on.

There are books for kids about anxiety, but these didn't work for my DD (she felt they talked down to her).

For sleeping, we've used various things - lavender sachets/spray, a relaxing recorded 'sleep story', red colored night light.

(Sleep meditation we've used is called Bedtime Meditations for Kids - it's an Android app - but there are others out there too).

We also ended up seeing a psychologist (DD refused to go, but us parents went to get advice on how to work with DD and talk to her about her anxiety)
