school anxiety and stress

Hello all

How does everyone cope with school anxiety? Our Dm gets it bad on Sunday and end of school holidays. I try to just let her get it out but wondered is there anyway to help? 

Also she gets headaches, says there are lights behind her eyes and her skin gets very itchy/hot? Are these stress signs or do I need to take her to the doctors? 

She is seven, she has SPD and mild ASD

Thanks in advanced all xxx

  • Hello! I'm glad she's able to tell you sometimes what's worrying her.  Sorry she doesn't know at other times. I know of a child with aspergers and they have the childcare type assistant, who helps them out with the day to day worry's at school-i think they are called teaching assistants, and should know about developmental dissorders-anxiety being part of it.. Please can you go to your school and ask for help. Are their any local groups for children with aspergers? Could your g.p suggest any groups or any extra support you could have? At the first page of this community, where you log in, on the right hand side in a box, there are also other support networks, as well as this, that has net groups for familys with aspergers/autism, netmums, mumsnet and maybe you could phone the National autistic society helpline, to see what suport she should be getting from school and how to endorse that help.And ask for better lines of commmunication from them about how her day is. Glad she going to the G.p for her itching e.t.c
