If you see something of concern family history will usually provide clues. True anxieties show up around seven years old or later.....before that anxieties are considered normal child development. <br /><br />I am praying, friend! I know the heaviness of it all.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-550882698692208332011-08-20T17:46:04.967-04:002011-08-20T17:46:04.967-04:00I so get this friend.

The way you describe Peter, My oldest has some of those tendencies just around different things. I have just recently started to really see that it is anxiety driven. Part of me doesn't want another child with these kinds of struggles.....but ya know God WILL provide for both of us and each of our kids. I have to remember that relationship comes over the academics...when I am able to let go it all goes much better. But it is such a balancing act to know when to push these kids and when to back off. <br />That book suggestion looks interesting.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953023131915534135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-32196135178737250322011-08-20T14:18:01.038-04:002011-08-20T14:18:01.038-04:00Thank you, Terri.

It probably will provide some insight into Peter's unique learning needs. <br /><br />Paul has watched our library closely these last couple weeks for the new installment of Magic Tree House, which released to the market Aug. 9th. I hope they receive it this week!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-34710176203563650642011-08-20T12:14:43.026-04:002011-08-20T12:14:43.026-04:00Sonlight was such a good idea!

Sorry it didn't work out like you had planned. :( I could probably come up with some ideas, but I don't know if they would be just exactly what he needs. I am glad the Boxcar Children seem safe to him..but I suppose he can't read those forever! I just checked _Honey for a Child's Heart_ out of the library this week and I can't wait to dig into it. I've been wanting to suggest a book to you that I just finished called _The Minds of Boys_. It's a research-based look at the differences between how boys and girls learn. It also include chapters on ADD/ADHD and other brain disorders. I found it to be fascinating! Maybe it could give you another piece of the puzzle?Andrew & Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372943628751921835noreply@blogger.com
