Anxiety in children.

If you know a child who struggles with anxiety, you know the challenge of finding the right things to say when he or she is worried. It is important to offer support and encouragement, all while working to lessen fears the young person may have.

Are you curious about how you can help calm an anxious child? Rather than telling your child “you’ll be fine” or “don’t worry about it,” try one of these phrases the next time your child is feeling worried.
