🌀 The Aftermath Matters

After an anxious moment, your child might feel:

• Embarrassed or ashamed
• Confused about what happened
• Tired or drained

This is your chance to help them recover and learn—not through lectures, but through kindness.

🤝 What Helps:

• A cuddle or calm presence
• A gentle “That was hard. I’m proud of you.”
• A short conversation later (not in the heat of the moment)

🧠 Try This:

Name something they did well—“You told me you felt wobbly,” or “You let me help you calm down.” This builds confidence and self-trust.

💬 Key Message:

The more supported they feel after anxiety, the less afraid they’ll be next time.
