I had anxiety as a kid, but didn't realize what it was until I was an adult
I have zero idea why I had it, and I guess I kinda just grew out of it. I still get anxious at times, but at a more "healthy" level than in elementary.

All kids need to talk and work through issues. The hard part is getting them to talk, especially boys. I put up a batting cage in our backyard. My son and I had a saying “A bucket a day keeps the O’fers away”. He thought he was working on hitting. The truth was that after about 10 mins of swinging a bat he would open up and talk about his day and all the things he had going on at school. It was therapy for him and me. That was a special part of most of our days. I highly recommend finding an activity like this such as catching your son if he’s a pitcher, hitting tennis balls with a son or daughter, working out together, shooting baskets, shooting bows in the backyard, etc. The physical side of the activity seems to open up the mental side.

They sure did. EVERYTHING revolves around their daughter. Summer of 2023 we are all in Del Mar, SD and go into a beach bar/restaurant, which had just changed ownership. The service was spotty and the new owner explained that they were having trouble hiring help. The daughter started bitching and the dad then announced that if she was managing the place she would change things fast and get that place in shape. My girlfriend and I laughed- thinking he was kidding- but he wasn't. Her previous and only restaurant experience was working as a hostess at a Mexican restaurant for about a month before she got fired for texting at the hostess desk.

1. She’s in middle school. Many grown women will tell you this was one or the worst periods of their lives. I certainly hated it.
I’ve never been more uncomfortable in my own skin.
2. Moving in middle school is tough (I did it), but going from a small school to a very large one is even harder.
In short, I would expect your daughter to feel anxious in this situation. In fact, I think she would be in a tiny minority of middle school girls if she weren’t exceptionally anxious given the circumstances. It’s normal. Let her know that. She isn’t broken, and it will pass. She will become stronger and more resilient because of this. And she’s just one good friend away from everything improving.

There is a kid or two in my youngest daughter’s class (7th grade) that sounds very similar. I don’t know your situation nor am I passing judgement on you; however, the parents of this girl have protected her from every single tough moment in her life which has caused her to incapable of handling stressful events that most kids would brush off. Her mother gets called up to school to help with panic attacks and she has already requested to switch home rooms as the daughter cannot handle the energy of her home room class. This specific girl is going to flip out on the first day of high school.

Maybe try switching up her diet. Too much sugar is like putting gasoline on the fire when dealing with ADHD.

We have her on ADHD medicine and it apparently is not enough.
