My 11 year old son has a lot of anxiety issues and his impending start at senior school this September has already sent him into meltdown overdrive. He is very scared of starting big school and has been in floods of tears and panicky for some weeks now and I am at the end of my tether. I can see September coming and the whole thing being one big disaster as he will either refuse to go or be in such an extreme state of anxiety it will be impossible to get him to attend. He realises that he suffers excessively from anxiety but doesn't know how to stop. Nothing I say or do seems to put his mind at ease and I am now dreading September myself. Has anyone a child who is over anxious? It is affecting the whole family.
