We should not wait to see obvious signs of distress such as failing grades, withdrawal, emotional outbursts before we offer support to the child. We may not be able to identify every issue in a child s life that is causing anxiety but we can provide overall loving and nurturing environments at all times, especially in the home and at school. Encourage and praise more than threaten and punish. Help them to build supportive friendships and good relationships with family members. Help them to set and achieve realistic goals.
Prevention is always better than cure.
