Hi
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I could help my eldest DS who is 4 and a real worrier. He is a very intense child, not one for cuddles etc and really works himself up and worries about everything already
I am wondering if there is anything I could do to help him at all? It worries me (I get the irony) that he already seems to be anxious. He is also a perfectionist and gets very upset when he doesn't do things 'right'.
I had bad PND for over a year after his birth, and was on my own with him for the majority of that time. I have tried to control it but one of my symptoms ( which I still get) is anxiety. I feel so sad that this is probably partly my doing that he is how he is now.
I am even considering whether I should try and find someone he could see about this? I would be willing to pay for this - does anyone know if this is something a professional could help with and , if so, who I should be looking at?
I don't want to make too big a deal of it as it doesn't impact his life to the extent he can't do things, I just wonder if maybe I got him some help now it might nip this in the bud?
