He is very bright beyond his years and is suffering acutely with anxiety. I am trying to find him a book about dealing with his anxiety that is age appropriate, which is very hard given his braininess - books that relate to his intellectual level are more aimed at teenagers; and the others are a bit too "childish." Has anyone ever had need to seek such a book; and did anyone succeed?
It is likely that there is a genetic/hereditary element to this and he may need to equip himself with the tools to help him deal with it.
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
