Hello ,
I am new here and asking about where i go from here or even if my concerns are anything to worry about really .
My son is 9 years old , always been a little monkey . He has some anger issues and dosnt know how to handle them. He is very anxious, to the point where it effects him going to school. I have to get him dressed for school monday to friday, and sometimes we dont make it to school because his anxiety has worked him up too much. He has always had issues around food . If he dont know it , he wont eat it. Getting him to eat something new has been an ongoing issue since he could eat. He is funny with smell when it comes to food also. He does have a few friends in school, but they fall out all the time , only takes someone to say a joke and he takes it literally and then thinks people are being mean which upsets him. He dosnt lash out at school, if he gets upset at school , he will hold all those feelings inside till he comes home then explodes.
i dont want it to look like im only looking for the things that seem negative etc , because he is an absolute diamond. He is a lovely boy , but i dont know who to speak to or where to go . Because as i said , he dosnt lash out at school , he waits till he is home in his safe place.
I appreciate any opnions , and advice on this .
Thank you .
