My 10 year old girl is a happy but sometimes shy individual.Lately the smallest of things have been bothering her and she has been crying a lot and the next minute happy.She complains of a tummy ache although theres no "pain" just a funny feeling in her tummy and she loses her appetite.She has missed school once this week and we've had phone calls from school saying she's feeling poorly but when we've gone in she's crying but very anxious at the same time.We've asked her if she's getting bullied and she says no(we believe her because usually any minor thing which upsets her she tells us right away and the thought of switching schools alarms her).She does a lot of sport activities and she's wanting to end them all.She has given us reasons for being upset but these vary and are not things which would ordinarily bother her.Last week she had a very brief tantrum which is not like her at all and we saw a doctor last week but he said it WASN'T puberty or anything like that.Just anxiety.This change has come on very quickly indeed and I was just after your opinion really.
Thanks
