New method to my madness

Hey folks!
A few days ago I was despondent. Catie was having a terrible time working on schoolwork at home. Continual meltdowns were the order of the day, particularly if a math quiz or spelling test was set before her. Finally Mom suggested that she might need something for her anxiety - initially I was horrified by the idea. Then I considered it. Catie does get horribly anxious every time there is a paper set before her with a little "assessment" star at the top. I made her a deal - if she can do her math worksheet without help, she doesn't need to take the assessment, and she can take her spelling test on the marker board.
Still, Catie did need something. I asked Mom to pick up some kind of natural remedy that would be safe for children and good for anxiety, and she came home with a Bach's Flower Remedy - White Chestnut. Four drops under the tongue later, Catie pulled out of a full meltdown in only 5 minutes.
I don't know how it works, or if it works for everyone. But it works for Catie, and I am profoundly grateful that she's able to calm herself so quickly now.
