HELP!

My 11 year old is having a really hard time adjusting to junior-high. He gets panic attacks almost every morning! He doesnt eat much, and starts vomitting…We talk A LOT. He tells me he feels good talking to me, but then he cant help himself. He basically hates the taugh regime of the school. He made friends, and likes some teachers but hates school. He NEVER had this kind of problem before. I dont know what to do anymore….

Could be just going through that age where they hate school, or maybe some classmates are giving him a hard time at school. If he has made some friends and likes some of the teachers.. there is probably a reason he may not be telling you about. Just keep talking to him and figure out what he is feeling, why he feels that way, and figure out what you can do to ease his nerves. The physical reaction is odd, it would make me concerned…there are alot of sites you can look up on panic attacks in children and school phobias.

I would keep talking to him and them do some research and proceed as you see fit.

I know that he suffers from anxiety. The school nurse told me to talk to the guidence counsler in school, but I’m not crazy about them, they are very quick at labeling the kids and suggesting medications,etc. I think hes just going through a rough transition, but somtimes I fell helpless and really bad to see him like this.

first Ide like to understand the ‘taugh regime’ do you mean ‘tough schedule or ? and is he on medication or therapy for the anxiety? These things may help in us trying to help you, help him. as for the councelor and meds. Just because you may go to them, which i recommend, does not mean you or your son has to do what they say, its all just suggestions that will put your mind at ease,getting better knowledge of the situation and your son and it will show your son how important he and his problem is. To minimize this as ‘just a rough transition’ is to minimize his education and sending him a message that his problem is not serious, and it is serious, serious to his overall health. you are NOT helpless if you TRY to do something. Maybe telling more about his anxiety problem and/or getting him to come on this site will help too. The main thing is to nip it in the bud now cuz it can get worse if its pushed under the rug
