The avoidance cycle

Avoiding a situation can keep the anxiety cycle going. By helping your child face a feared situation, they can learn how to cope with it and learn whether or not it really is as bad as they expect. Try encouraging your child to have a go at the thing they fear in order to break the cycle of anxiety.
