Vomiting/Nervousness
by Gabster226, Sep 13, 2009 10:58AM
I have a five year old son who just started kinder and has been vomiting a water substance every morning before school or during school. I believe he is stressed or nervous for school since he doesn't vomit during the weekends when he knows there's no school. What can I do to help him relieve the stress and keep him from vomiting at school? Please help!

Poor kid. And poor you. How long has it been happening for? Are there any other symptoms - paleness during times he vomits, does he vomit at regular times each day and seem fine at other times in the day? Does he have pains when he vomits? Does he feel nauseated before he vomits? Does he feel dizzy?
Are there any specific problems at kinder that are stressing him? Any bullying or social problems? Have you asked his teachers about his interactions with them and the kids? How does he talk about his day - does he have lots to tell you about all the things he did at kinder, or is he pretty silent about it? Does he find it easy to learn things or is he struggling with his tasks? Try to ask him about kinder and find out directly from him what he thinks of the children and teachers, and how he likes his new lifestyle.
How is he away from you at other times? Is he ok to stay with relatives or friends of yours/his?
Has his breakfast food changed since he started kinder? Might be he has different, more convenient foods before kinder and other foods at weekend for brekkie?
The vomiting could be stress related but it is possible he has picked up a bug of some kind, so it would be good if he could see the doc if the vomiting doesn't stop. In the meantime, make sure he gets lots of fluid so he doesn't get dehydrated. Dehydration indicators are: trouble peeing or having dark pee, loss of appetite, grumpiness, tiredness, lack of interest in normal activities or lack of energy for normal activites, dry skin especially around lips or in mouth and eyes.
