Supporting Students with Anxiety
Here are some key points:
1. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety, but to help a child manage it.
2. Don’t avoid things just because they make a child anxious.
3. Express positive—but realistic—expectations.
4. Respect her feelings, but don’t empower them.
5. Don’t ask leading questions.
6. Don’t reinforce the child’s fears.
7. Encourage the child to tolerate her anxiety.
8. Try to keep the anticipatory period short.
9. Think things through with the child.
10. Try to model healthy ways of handling anxiety.
