The Nemours Foundation offers these suggestions to help put your child's worries to rest:
- Take time to talk about what's worrying your child.
- Listen carefully to what your child has to say, and explain that you understand and are concerned. Offer reassurance about what's bothering your child, and offer comfort.
- Help your child figure out a solution to the problem, but don't try to remedy the entire situation yourself.
- Help your child keep things in perspective, and explain that problems are often temporary.
- Show your child how to react to concerns by being a good role model.
