I read the post above about symptoms of anxiety in adults. What does that look like in a child?
Two things I've noticed in my 9y/o are him twisting his fingers (like wringing his hands), and his pupils become very large when dh or I are speaking (not yelling or intimidating) directly to him.
He also becomes overstimulated fairly easily, like when his world becomes too big--too much going on or too much time with other kids.
Are these anxiety sypmtoms? What else should I look for? Would anyone recommend meds to treat anxiety to allow healing?
