How To Emotionally Support Your Child With An Anxiety Disorder

How can I emotionally support my child with an anxiety disorder?

One strategy that I use in the classroom to help students with anxiety disorders, that I actually use with all students, is to catch them being good. Whatever a student happens to be working on, if they're displaying an appropriate behavior, I give them props for that, I give them praise for that. When they're working, when they otherwise wouldn't be working I'm sure to comment that they're doing a good job. When they participate in class or I call on them and they participate I praise them for it. I just try to reinforce that what they're doing is right and that I recognize it, and it helps to creat a sense of safety.
