My just gone 7 year old gets so excited.....like so excited to the point he cant enjoy anything.....I've stopped building excitement about anything as he cant cope.....I had to tell him elf on the shelf wasnt real as he was becoming anxious about it moving.....he also get anxious about father Christmas coming......he is always looking for the next thing to be excited about and when it gets to the exciting thing he was looking forward to he doesnt enjoy it!! I've stopped telling him about holidays or days planned as he cant cope with the excitement.......
He was very upset I told him that I moved elf on the shelf......but he literally was not sleeping as he was both scared and excited that it would be moving.....
Any advice would be appreciated.....I feel like I've ruined the magic of Christmas a bit....as he then asked if Santa was real and I so want to tell him the truth as I feel like I'm lying.....but also to stop the over excitement/anxiousness.......I'm sure other kids are like this.....so what do you do x
