K is a worrier. She reminds me of myself so much, but this is especially true in her anxiety. She tends to worry about the things most little kids don't even think of. The things that some do think of she tends to worry about it a hundred times worse. She doesn't like separation, being alone, or anything scary. We monitor her TV because even simple Disney movies seem to terrify her. She is also extremely sensitive, so even the smallest correction is tough on her. Lately, bedtime has been our biggest problem. Even with her sister right there, she needs to see mommy or daddy until she's asleep. On bad nights, she will wake in a panic and get so worked up she vomits. It's exhausting for all of us.
The hardest part of all of this is that I know how she feels, but there's not much I can do to help change it. No amount of logic will help. I've read books and articles. We've tried so many things. At the end of the day, it seems like our only thing will be time. We just have to wait it out and try our best.
