Hi all,

Linda I think it's human to nature to assume that if we dangle a 'carrot' in front of someone they'll reach out to grab it. So many people really don't see the anxiety behind the anxiety that SR kids suffer.

I agree that it can look like a behaviourial issue and if someone offers them something really attractive, then the issue will cease to be.
Oh if it were only that simple. know at the beginning when my daughter's SR started, I would have promised her the moon to get it to stop, and I feel that any parent on here would do the same.

But as time goes by, you realise that the solution will never be that simple. Some people don't or won't see that.

I'm sorry your son's Dad offered him a trip to USA like that. So disappointing for your son.
Take care.
