I suspect my DC (8 year old) has anxiety disorder, he is always been super-sensitive and self-conscious. But recently it gets worse that he refused to go to field trip because afraid to get lost, he refused to go to summer camp because worried about we would not pick him up at end of day, and he insists to wear two layers because worried it might get cold (right now it is 95 degree during the day), it drives me nuts and also makes me really worried.
Is anxiety common with gifted child?
What should I do next? To get a Doctor to give him an evaluation?
What can I do at home to help him?
Anything else?
Thanks a lot!
