Physical Symptoms of Anxiety

Physical symptoms of Anxiety include headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea which may be accompanied by a racing heart, shakiness or sweating. All of these symptoms are related to fight-or-flight. These symptoms are not harmful. The emergency system is responding to a false alarm. The best thing to do is not let the anxiety win. Responding with "I know it hurts, I know it's uncomfortable, but I know you can do it!" helps your student be successful with conquering anxiety. Here is an article from the Child Mind Institute that I hope helps!

Lice Timeline- How to tell how long lice have invaded your space

Infestation timeline

Few nits: less than 2 weeks. An adult louse climbs onto your hair and lays about 6 to 10 nits a day, which take about 9 days to hatch. So if you look on the scalp and see no visible adult lice and several small nits, it’s likely that you’ve caught lice in the earlier stages and had them for less than 2 weeks.
Nits and nymphs: 1.5 to 2 weeks. If you see nits and small, moving lice, you’ve likely had lice for 1.5 to 2 weeks. This is because you aren’t seeing a lot of adult lice but are still seeing small, hatched nymphs along with lots more nits than a person who’d only been affected for a few days.
Nits, nymphs, and adult lice: 2 weeks or longer. If you’re seeing a mixture of sizes of lice, you may have had an infestation for at least 2 weeks. If you have symptoms like itching along with a variety of lice stages, you’ve likely been living with lice for four to six weeks or possibly longer.
Nits more than 1/4 inch from the scalp: old infestation. Only see small nits over a quarter inch away from the scalp? It’s probably an old infestation. You may have treated your lice, and remnants are moving down the scalp. Because lice eggs typically hatch close to the scalp, seeing nits further down your hair can indicate that the infestation is inactive.
