Elliott is going through a very hard time. It was extremely challenging to get him to go to school today. Since being home, he's had a few meltdowns over things that shouldn't really be that big of a deal. He's extremely anxious and overwhelmed.
I spoke with his school counselor today and shared my concerns. She mentioned that she has been noticing Elliott looking distraught and exhausted.
Tonight he had a really hard time falling asleep. He slept for a few minutes before making his way downstairs.
Lizze and I decided to let him sleep on the couch tonight. I will sleep on the other couch and hopefully Elliott will awake rested. I'm really concerned that the stress of everything in our lives is having a profoundly negative impact on him.
This just breaks my heart because Elliott is changing and he's not the happy, carefree little boy.
I have to find a way to reduce his stress and help him through this difficult time.
