Help. 

Does AOE have or has experienced a young child that struggles with anxiety? I have an 8yr old little boy that is really having a difficult time, has been having difficulty since he was a toddler, being introduced to new activities, new people (sometimes) or even going to everyday places like the grocery store. It’s not the typical shyness or dislike for having to get dragged along on shopping trips, he has started doing things like stomping his feet in stores or misbehaving with the intent of getting in trouble so that i won’t take him places. 

I’ve been doing my own research trying to find information out there to help both of us, but haven’t really found a ton of resources out there. Any suggestions?
