Practice the Three-Step Approach

1. Notice: Observe your child’s anxiety without judgment and be curious about its triggers and manifestations. Strive to learn the precursors and reactions to anxiety, recognizing both visible signs like physical distress and less obvious signs, such as irritability or avoidance behaviors.




2. Notify: Pay attention to what the anxiety is attempting to communicate, viewing it as an alarm system for perceived physical, emotional, or external threats. By becoming attuned to what anxiety truly represents, you can better understand your child’s fears and vulnerabilities.




3. Need: Respond to the anxiety alarm by identifying what your child’s anxiety needs—whether it’s a physical outlet, safety, or reassurance against unrealistic expectations. This step is about coming alongside your child, offering support, and addressing their concerns collaboratively.
