Don't scare me anymore than I already am re:transition to middle school!! Yes, it's 6, 7, and 8th grade here as well.
I live in the midwest. She loves her summer swim team. She is the happiest after practice, jumps starts her day. However, she refuses to join a winter team. I signed her up last fall, and after several tearful rounds after practice, we decided (husband and I) it wasn't worth the fight.
Unfortunately, my daughter has had a few panic attacks too. A year ago, my son & I were involved in a car accident that she witnessed. Then, a few months ago, on the way home from her p-doc, we came across a fatal car accident. Police diverted us away from the scene, but it was clear, something terrible had just happened. My daughter threw up and experienced some post traumatic stress.
My heart aches for her. I just wish she could breathe in and out more slowly and not over think everything. She has a new friend over right now, and I'm crossing my fingers and toes.
I feel my T has helped me deal with my daughter more than her T. Her T keeps everything fairly confidential, as I would expect, but shares little of the global picture as well. My T will give me concrete help.
