Anxiety

NAS75657

My seven year old son iz getting very anxious and upset over the last couple of days. It’s about making sure we’re going to the places we say we’re going to. It doesn’t help that the change in routine over christmas has caused him to sleep poorly and made him unwell  and extremely tired.. Any advice?

  • I'm so sorry your son is struggling. Christmas is one big change and anxiety trigger so it's no wonder he was anxious around then and likely is still feeling the effects of it now. 

    As others have said it's key to let him know about any changes to routine as soon as possible and to give him to process these changes and adjust accordingly. And if he's tired make sure he rests when possible as rest will give his body and mind time to recover. 

    Really sorry he's going through this and I hope he feels better soon.
