16 What Children Should Know The Facts anxiety is normal anxiety is adaptive anxiety is not dangerous anxiety does not last forever anxiety is mostly anonymous
17 Anxiety is Like a Smoke Alarm A smoke alarm can help to protect us when there is an actual fire, but when a smoke alarm is too sensitive and goes off when there isn t really a fire it is rather annoying. Like a smoke alarm, anxiety is helpful and adaptive when it works right. But if it goes off when there is no real danger, it is not only scary, it is also very exhausting. However, we DO NOT want to get rid of the alarm (or eliminate anxiety) because it protects us from danger. We want to fix it so it works properly for us. (Source:
18 Body Awareness part of educating your child about anxiety is helping them to understand what happens physically when they get anxious to do this, you can ask your child: What happens when you get anxious?
