Because when anxiety spirals, your child doesn’t need logic, lectures, or solutions.
They need to feel safe.
They need connection.
They need to borrow your calm until they can find their own.
When your usual words don’t seem to work, these phrases give you a new way in — helping you reach your child’s nervous system, not just their ears.
They’re not “magic” words.
They’re small, powerful tools of connection — ones that help you meet your child in the storm and gently walk them through it.
