Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Hello all, Thanks , Lesli and Kahty H. for your experiences with tummy aches. Looks like school anxiety is what we are definitely dealing with. Kelsey was fine this morning until we went to get in the car for school and then said she didn't want to go and said " I'll be okay if I can just have one day home to rest. " My first thought was to let her. After all, I have a cold and maybe a day of watching movies and relaxing together with the boys gone would do us both good! But then I remembered my experience last Spring where she started trying to avoid school. Once she got over the hump of getting there, it was okay and would've otherwise become an ongoing issue. So I explained to the teacher and am hoping I won't get a call for her to come home! Who knows..she could end up on anti-anxiety meds yet. Wouldn't that be ironic to beat OCD without medication and then need it for social phobia and anxiety? For now, I am going to make an appointment to see the homeoapth my friend sees with great success. But if that doesn't work and this goes on, I may consider medication. After all, I can't let this little girl go through life this stressed out! Take care, in San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
