A volatile environment will certainly contribute to anxiety. But, since I am also the CL for the ADHD forum, I am also very intune in anxiety in kids. Anxiety is a very strong co-disorder of ADHD and usually caused by the ADHD. So I am wondering how he is doing in school?
But, no matter how it is caused - this link will help you help him.....https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/how-to-stop-anxiety-panic/?utm_source=eletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=october&mc_cid=855ba52173&mc_eid=b4704aad74
Hi Justin, I don't know anything concrete but I find that with my own anxiety it helps having an activity that keeps me out of my own head. I've always loved getting lost in a book but a fun physical hobby is best. Maybe you could find an activity for just the two of ye? Like exploring a forest for an hour or two...Along the way you might be able to figure out if there's a larger reason for his anxiety. All the best. Alison
