My ds is a real worrier particularly at night time. He saw a bit of the news about Ukraine and since then has said he has a stomach ache at night because he is worried about war. He was in a school play today and last night he couldn't sleep because he said he had a stomach ache and was really worried about it. For ages he was worried when he heard an ambulance and I wasn't with him because he thought something had happened to me. Most of the time he is fine and I know it's within the realms of normal at the moment but I don't want it to spiral further. I am also an over thinker and it has definitely held me back in life. Any advice for people who have similar children? Thanks
