When your child comes to you with a problem, it’s tempting to tell them, “Oh, don’t worry about it.”

But learning how to cope with anxiety and worry is a key part or resiliency, Taryn Marie Stejskal, founder, the founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute and author of “The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People: Why Some Flourish When Others Fold” wrote for CNBC Make It.

She advises parents put aside some time for “worry sessions.”

“Set a timer for five minutes and ask your child to worry about every aspect of their concern,” she says. “They can even write down all their anxieties. Then, once the period is over, ask them to release the worries and no longer think about them.”
