My ten year old has over the last month developed severe anxiety. She used to be super independent and a great sleeper. Now she's terrified to be alone in a room in the house, she follows me around and can't get to sleep without me in the room. She wakes in the night and will come into my bed. This is entirely new behaviour. This is linked to a sudden fear of being kidnapped. She saw a newspaper report about a month ago about a girl being kidnapped and thinks that it might happen to her. She thinks people might be hiding in the house. I've talked to her at length about the unlikelihood of this happening but she thinks that there's a possibility and therefore her anxiety is warranted. She is utterly exhausted all the time. It's now 9:30 and she's been in bed since 8, unable to sleep and periodically crying/listening to audio books. I've repeatedly been in and out the room. I'm not sure where to go from here other than seek child therapy?
