My 8 year old daughter has been going through some anxiety issues. The biggest one right now is rain. She becomes absolutely terrified when clouds move in or there is a shift in the wind. I've been tossing the idea of taking her to counseling but I'm really not sure we're really to that point. Ideas?

Leah... how could I be responding to you when I posted over an hour before you did...? ;)
The replies are posted backwards unless you go to the 'view replies by' area and switch it to oldest instead of most recent... real pain in the butt and I don't know why they have it like that.

Counseling is definitely a good idea and isn't really something you want to 'wait til that point' on... if it will help her in anyway... the sooner the better.

♥ Definitely time to seek some counseling if you can. Anxiety is a HARD thing to live with, but she can learn skills to manage it.

It's probably a good idea to have her assessed. This seems like a bit more than anxiety.
