Hello! A child in my pre-K class has suddenly developed anxious feelings, wanting to see Mom and Dad while at school, complaining of stomach aches. Parents have been experiencing same at home and took son to a doctor to rule out any health issues. I talked with the child and he assures me there is nothing at school that bothers him, he just wants to see Mom and Dad. He is generally OK, completing activities, participating, etc., but often complains of belly aches, cries a bit. Understanding that this may probably be a phase, any thoughts other than reassuring, distracting, picture of family, etc. that may ease his anxiousness? His parents are very open to discussion with me. Thank you!
