During these uncertain times, anxiety can be popping up where it wasn’t before. Here are a few tips to help you and your child.
- Provide the opportunity for adequate sleep
- Serve healthy meals
- Remind your child to drink plenty of water
- Allow for downtime to decompress
- Allow for outdoor free play
- Exercise daily
- Avoid avoidance (help your child face their worry instead of avoiding it)
- Let your child worry (don’t say “don’t worry”, instead ask them to describe the worry in order to decompose it and show that it may not be necessary)
