This can be tough for sure. The best thing I can offer without speaking with you is to not reassure your child. Rather, help your child problem-solve through a situation. Asking them questions like, “and then what?”, “what if this happened, what would you do?” Getting them thinking reduces panic and fear and gives them confidence that they can think through any situation.
