Extreme Anxiety

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

As a parent I'd try diet supplements. Anxiety can possibly be helped with magnesium, omega 3's and probiotics. Anxiety many times stems from childhood trauma. Makes me wonder what's really going on in this child's world.

That is crazy off the charts stuff your dealing with. I can't imagine a 4 yr old behaving this way. If it's learned behavior that's just bizarre parents somehow played a role in this. Still, makes me question how it can be this extreme and I'm suspicious there's more to this!

This is how I deal with my own 3.5-year-old daughter's anxiety that expresses itself in some interesting ways.
HOWEVER, I also am nearly through with the evaluation process with the local school district with her because I'd like to know what's going on. That has included 2 psych evaluations and a 3rd will be today. I am not in denial and because I am not in denial I am attempting to help her as we figure things out.

The parents she is referring to seem to be in some serious denial if their solution is to completely modify normal life. I don't think you'll find such parents implementing supplements, vitamins, etc.

I'm sorry for all of y'all. I am glad you have some kind of a solution to get through the end of June (with the separation and camera as well as pick ups after 30 minutes). If it gets to be too much and is causing anxiety for you and your class I'd lower the time limit and state why.
I know it still likely feels like you have a cheese grater on your nerves with THAT much hysterical crying from a 4.5-year-old.

This is affecting her quality of life, and needs professional treatment.
