4. According to psychologist
Jeffrey Bernstein, children
are better equipped to
deal with anxiety if they
learn two crucial skills:
problem solving and
calming down. Dr.
Bernstein uses five
techniques with his own
children to alleviate
anxiety.

5. 1. Deep breathing -
Encourage slow,
deep breaths and
muscle relaxation.

6. 2. Discouraging
automatic negative
thoughts - Shift children
from thinking "Nothing
ever works out in my
favor" to "I'll do better
next time." Negative
thoughts only fuel
anxiety.

7. 3. Exposure
strategies -
Encourage children
to work through
their fears rather
than avoiding them.

8. 4. Calming
visualizations - Sit
with your child and
have him or her
imagine a calm,
relaxing place.
