An Additional Attempt

So, I was thinking yesterday that if the internet made possible to find self-help programs that help with learning how to read, it also may have programs to assist with childhood anxiety. I found a program called The Anxiety-Free Child by Rich Presta. It looked like all the reviews I read were very positive about this program. It mentioned it helps with the full list of symptoms that Conner has. The symptoms that he has in his list are as follows (Note: this also includes symptoms that Conner does NOT have as well).

• Unexplained physical symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches.
• Being nervous, jittery, and hypersensitive.
• Decreased school performance or a lack of concentration.
• Avoidance of social activities or not wanting to spend as much time with friends.
• Tics, nervous habits, or compulsive behavior such as nail biting or hair pulling.
• Dangerous behavior such as cutting or drug and alcohol abuse.
• Excessive moodiness or outbursts of anger.
• Persistent worry that seems unjustified for the situation.
• Sleep changes or activity level changes.
• School avoidance or refusal.
• Being unusually or overly self-critical.
• A high need for reassurance.
• Outbursts of anger or oppositional behavior, even though you know in your heart they’re a good kid, they just have all this anxious energy coming out all wrong.

I am hoping that this program will help assist in addition to meeting up with our therapist, George.  Not sure what George will think of it but I am giving it a try anyway. It can't hurt... right?
