DS is 10 and I'm trying to help him get a bit more independent in preparation for seniors school next year. He's a very cautious thing and gets frightened easily. He won't be upstairs on his own. If he's left something upstairs he'll ask to be accompanied to get it. He won't walk to school on his own (quiet village, only 3 minutes walk), he waits for me to go when i take DS2.
Any tips on helping him overcome anxiety?
