Austin has improved considerably in moodiness, anxiety and academics. He still refuses to sleep or shower in his own room, but his overall attitude is more at ease. Last week he did not have a vocabulary test, but he did score a 91% on his math test. I didn't even KNOW there was going to be a math test- so there was no special studying or anything at home! YAY!
On another note, I've decided that he needs to eat better. He gets breakfast at school and tells me he always chooses Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That's mediocre, at best. He packs his lunch and makes the usual kid lunch- sandwich, chips, Capri Sun or something. Does he EAT it? I don't know. Dinner is almost always a challenge to get him to eat... and if he does eat, it's not very much.
So now I wake up earlier and try to make a REAL breakfast. Eggs and bacon, pancakes and sausage, waffles, oatmeal... He's also not allowed to have milk until after he finishes his food. I sit in front of him and make sure he's eating at breakfast and dinner. And try to either make something he likes somewhat, or at least have something he likes available (like I made a batch of meatballs and froze them in single portions).
I'm not sure all this food stuff will make any difference in his anxiety, but I know he needs to learn to feed himself or he'll get sick. He's a growing boy, you know.
