Re: How can I get my 5 year old son to relax?
Honey it doesn't sound like youa re doing anything wrong! In fact, reading what you say it seems to me you are close to family utopia LOL
Some kids are just more highly strung than others, and he is probably a sensitive little soul - and I would say probably wise for his age even though I ahven't met him.
My now 14 year old was very easily stressed, so I just regularly talked about all the good and happy things in our lives, and how fortunate we were, and reminded him that worrying only makes us uptight and doesn't solve anything. He also needs to understand that things can and do go wrong but that it is part of life and none of us have much power over it. Tell him that is why kids ahve mummies and daddies - so they can do the worrying if need be.
I agree with what the other lady wrote below - play soothing music and Enya is a lovely choice!
Above all - RELAX and tell yourself you are a great Mum, and are blessed to ahve such a happy family and loving partner.
