When children are experiencing anxiety start by listening and acknowledge the child's fear.

Help them work through the fear by showing continuous encouragement and support.  Remain calm in your body language and tone trying to talk through the anxiety with the child. Help them to problem solve and work through what they might do in the worst-case scenario.  Lastly, role model healthy ways of dealing with anxiety by showing them how you yourself cope when you are feeling anxious.
