Today was a surprising success.  We had a 4 day weekend, which means a change in routine.  This has always been a trigger for an anxiety attack.   I put her to bed early last night, made a good breakfast, gave her plenty of time to acclimate to the routine.  As we were driving to school, I caught her in the back seat working on her breathing, closing her eyes, calming herself, on her own.  Yay!! This is what I have been working towards, she actually used the tools we have given her by herself.  Major victory! Here's hoping for a great tomorrow.!
