My 1st grader is anxious and doesn't want to go to school. Would a "worry stone" help?

,

His start in the new (old) big public school was not very ideal.
We got quarantined only 2 days into the new school year and when he got back after 10 days we were not allowed to walk him to the classroom anymore (only allowed in the first week). He says he is super scared to walk to his classroom by himself (it’s about 75ft from the entrance). He also says he hates 1st grade, his life, it’s so hard etc…

I started to do the body scan again to sleep and help him calm his body and I also bought him a “worry stone” he can carry in his pocket and touch when he gets anxious. What do you think?

My daughter leans on anxious and is having potty accidents. How can I help her?

, ,

We are currently dealing with running to the bathroom every 5-10 mins saying she has to go pee and nothing coming out. This happened about a year ago and it was resolved but this time she is actually having many accidents a day and soaking through her underwear. I am pretty sure it's not happening at school but have a note to her teachers to confirm. When I ask her about it she says "I was having too much fun playing” or “I was too cozy in bed to get up" which makes me think she is in control of it but sometimes it happens 4 times in an hour.

My son has a potty accident every day at school. What can we do?

,

He has had a potty accident at school every day. He is terrified of someone hearing him or seeing him ask to go to the bathroom so instead he just pees himself and then tries to carry on. We have tried to problem solve this with him. He has extra clothes, a special hand signal from his teacher as a reminder but still he is paralyzed with fear. He has also been very rigid, anxious and combative with his teacher and disruptive in the class. He refuses to participate in lessons. Today he was separated from the group after throwing an object at her.
What else can we do?

My daughter's anxiety is manifesting in different ways and I need help guiding her.

,

My question is about my daughter and what seems to be anxiety manifesting in different areas of her life. In May, she developed a weird eye thing that we had checked with an EEG and it came back normal. In December the eye thing came back and we had a 24-hour EEG and that came back normal too. Within the last few weeks she has developed a full on tic where she is blinking 50 times a minute and clearing her throat quite a bit. My brother and cousin used to have a similar tic when we were growing up but it's so hard to see with my own kid. Emotionally I feel like I am doing something wrong, logically I know it's deeper but it's still hard.
