My daughter is 2 1/2 she just was diagnosed with a anxiety disorder, she already has hypotonia, sensory disorder, PDD-NOS, and global delays, Has anyone else come across a child with anxiety problems at this age. Her eyes fully dialate when she is over anxious, but she is too young they tell me for meds, but thier is only so much you can do to keep your child calm,

Yes childrern develope anxiety very early on especially when she has all thats coming at her.I would read as much as I could on the dosorders and pratice different stimulus tecniques so she can have some down time.The doctors should be able to help.

Yea her OT wants her on meds for her anxiety as she thinks that its starting to cause tummy probs now. her dr doesnt really want to go the med route due to her age. But when you have so many therapist tell you that your child is the most anxious you have ever seen it just worries me that she will do damage to her self before they will do meds, we do a sensory diet to keep calmness in the home, but that isnt always a garauntee, and when we go out with her, you never know what will make her anxious,,,,

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
