My girl wanted a break with Tae Kwon Do plus lost interest. Also the swim team began ending this week and she said she wanted a break. She was not practicing as she should and fell a little behind and I did notice she was not practicing in front of her classmates freezing up acting nervous and anxious. Well break happened studio closed a week, missed some due to homework, then I had no vehicle a few days totaled a month break all during December.
She does have mild anxiety diagnosis. I took her to class dragging her and the instructor tried talking to her and she refused to go on the mat and was freaking out shaky and panic mode. The instructor tried to reassure her as well as myself nothing, her peers there smiled to give her encouragement (great kids and families) At the end she bolted out of there like it was on fire. She says because she is behind she does not want to look stupid and did not want to practice in front of the others. Her Constructor is aware and is planning 1:1 time with Annette to help her catch up. What I do not get she has no problems with dance and recital on stage. Then dance is more her passion.
She is acting anxious on and off for different things over the last few years but never like this. Also she is showing a lot of OCD behaviors she has had only increased and it is affecting her life now. Her psychologist and have have gone back and forth for years now on this and her teachers have confirmed some of them for me. If a teacher tries to help her and moves something aside on her desk she gets upset and shuts down until it goes where she wants it. My girl is going through instant hand wash if someone touches her food even though wrapped she wont eat it. examples. Oh she came home from school this week and was scrubbing her face and mouth because a girl covered her mouth with her hand on the bus home playing with her. I called her psychologist a week ago no return call and it appears same song and dance when we go so what I did is just made an emergency appointment one last shot with him. Yes I am fishing around for another this one was awesome until the past couple years nothing new.
