DS was an anxious baby, toddler, child. We always thought that just being kind, thoughtful, listening, would be enough. But it isn’t. He’s now an anxious 11 year old (Y7), now expressing worrying feelings of sadness, maybe verging on depression. Says he doesn’t care about anything.
He isn’t much of a talker and has always hated and resisted attempts to help him talk about his feelings.
Has anyone has success with any particular sort of therapy for generalised anxiety at this age?
