I need to find a child psychologist or therapist for my 8 year old. He still has crying fits and says he is constantly stressed out. We are a very laid back family and he sometimes cries so hard about not doing his homework correctly that he hyperventilates. We can't take it anymore. All the soothing and comforting and telling him not to worry and he doesn't hear us and is in his own world. He literally tries to pull his hear out. We need to find someone for him to talk to.

he is in a very low stress situation. Not much homework at all. Even reading at night makes him cry and sometimes that is his only homework if any. HIs teachers love him and say he's doing well. His workload is 1/2 of what some of his friends have. He is not overscheduled with afterschool, he has a social life and play a lot. He just cries a lot. [ Reply | More
