Dear Esther,

My son starts middle school this week and is so anxious about the school year. He worries it will be too hard, that none of his friends will be in his class and not have anyone to eat lunch with. He has always been a little anxious and I’m scared he will let his year be controlled by worrying about little things; how can we help him stop worrying?
