I don't like too crowded places and when there are too many people it's really calming me down :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138583446215341596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746252721462765153.post-38766631929751258412012-03-19T07:38:28.673-04:002012-03-19T07:38:28.673-04:00Thanks!

Funnily enough, though he has a writer mama, he gets major anxiety while writing a story and will erase it over and over, so I am trying to figure out how to build his confidence. This is quite helpful, and I know his teacher would work with me on allowing him something to worry at, like a stone, during tests and such.<br /><br /><a href="thewarriormuse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Shannon at The Warrior Muse</a>, co-host of the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">2012 #atozchallenge</a>!
