Anxiety Buster

Anxious children spend a lot of time trying to manage their anxiety by learning anything and everything they can about a situation. The technique, "What I Know - What I Don't Know," helps a child understand that even though it's not possible to know everything about a given situation there are things they do know and it can be very empowering.
