Lesson Overview

Fear often grows in silence.

Reassurance reduces uncertainty and emotional threat.


Key Insights

Reassurance is not saying:

You’ll be fine.

It is:

  • acknowledging concern

  • explaining what is happening

  • being available

  • checking in proactively

Often everyone in the environment needs reassurance, not only the main distressed person.


Reflection
