FAQ – Understanding Anxiety in Education training course

Frequently asked questions

We’ve answered the common questions our training specialists often get asked about Anxiety in schools.

Why is anxiety training in schools important? Anxiety training in schools is important because on average there could be up to five children who are struggling with anxiety in a classroom and without the necessary skills and knowledge, teachers may not spot the triggers or know how to support them.

How to help a child with anxiety in the classroom?

There are a few ways to help a child with anxiety in the classroom:

Provide emotional support - encourage the student to use self-calming techniques, allow the student to have a self-calming object, or let the student seek help from a designated staff member.
Classroom setup and schedules – provide classroom seating where they’re most comfortable, assign the student a designated buddy, provide a ‘break pass’ to let them get a drink or leave the classroom when needed, and give advance notices for changes in routine.
Giving instructions and assignments – break down assignments into smaller chunks, clearly state classroom expectations, offer written instruction in addition to spoken directions, and exempt the student from reading aloud if it makes them nervous.

These are just some ways staff can help children with anxiety in the classroom. This Understanding Anxiety in Schools course will go into depth on the different ways to help support children and young people suffering from anxiety.

What is anxiety in children? Anxiety is a feeling of unease, worry or fear. Children can feel anxious about different things at different ages. Many of these worries are a normal part of growing up but it becomes a problem when it gets in the way of the child’s everyday life e.g. they don’t manage to go to school, or they go to great lengths to avoid things or situations that make them anxious.
