How can I help my child who is feeling anxious?

It's great that you want to help! Can you tell me more about what specific situations make your child anxious?

They get really nervous about going to school and meeting new people.

That’s common. You might try role-playing different scenarios with them to build their confidence. Have you tried that?

No, I haven't. How would I start?

Start by choosing a situation they find stressful, like meeting a new classmate. Act it out together, encouraging them to express their feelings.

That sounds helpful! What else can I do?

You can also teach them relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or mindfulness exercises, to help manage their anxiety.
