Thats very interesting about the magnesium and vitamin b, I’ll give them a try. I’ve had anxiety as long as I can remember, at times on meds but off completely for the past 5 years. you hit the nail on the head I worry about imaginary scenerios. I also have very inquisitive fearless kids. Thanks for the advice- I’m looking forward to the changes travel will bring.

A lot of your worries will disappear when you hit the ground Louise. You’re probably worrying about an imaginary reality. I had a diagnosis of anxiety years ago and they tried to give me medication. I threw the Xanax in the bin. Mine was brought on by perimenopause from the age of about 40. Magnesium, B vitamins and plenty of walking, running or just being outdoors seemed to help me al lot. If I get anxiety now I know it’s because I’m short of Magnesium. But yes, I’m very protective of the boys because they do the craziest things. I learned through experience to expect the unexpected in the random things they do. They’re very rarely out of my sight and that’s great.

I also suffer from anxiety (especially relating to the safety of my kids) – and to be honest this is one of the reasons we are choosing to travel, I’m slowly wrapping them tighter and tighter in cotton wool and its madness. Do you have any other advice? Our kids are under 6 so we are going with baby ergo for the 18month old, spare ego for the 3 1/2 year old for long walks along with a body strap harness, and wrist harnesses for our 4 and 6 year old. I know that probably sounds over the top to some but oh well! Thank you again for sharing.

We also travel around the world with our kids and experience many of the same issues. As we live in South Africa, our biggest problem is the high cost of flights for 4. Schooling is the next biggest issue.
