Please help! My child is very anxious and sensitive. He been vomiting quite often when he fells disturbed.?
He is 5 and a very good child, but a bit anxious. He can get symthoms of panic attack for small things such as small cuts, band-aids, or things that he sees on TV. He has collapsed on the floor about three months ago just because he knocked slightly his hand. Today he had the unfortune to see a bit of a music video (a thing that was very innapropriate for the time of the day) that had a teenage girl throwing a knife and cutting off an arm of another member of the band. It’s indeed a very strong scene and I got in the living room just on time. He suddendly started to sweat, got very pale, nearly fainted and vomited. I know I’m a bit anxious myself around him and he’s my only child. My husband thinks that there is no big deal about it that he is just responding to my anxiety. I don’t know myself, I just do everything that I can to make my child happy. Please help!!
I’ve have already took him to the doctor after he collapsed, they told I need to learn tools how to relax him. Trying my best.
My 3-yr-old grandson has similar problems not as severe, but he was adopted from a Russian orphanage. Your child doesn’t have that kind of trauma in his background, so I think you’re right that he’s responding to your anxiety. The more anxious he gets, the more anxious you get, which causes him to get more anxious, then you… Get my point? You should check into getting counseling for yourself. Don’t knock yourself out making him happy, just provide the tools (toys) and stand back. You may be smothering him with your efforts.

if i were you, i’d see his pediatrician. kids personalities differ, but this sounds a bit extreme. as for what he sees on tv- especially since he is so sensitive to it- might be best to keep it off, or only let him watch carefully selected children’s programs. good luck.
