Anxiety Grounding Support

Name the anxiety or panic experience without treating it as a diagnosis.
Offer one immediate grounding action, such as slower breathing, noticing five visible objects, or placing both feet on the floor.
Keep body instructions gentle and optional; do not imply the student is failing if the method does not work.
Help the student separate the next small action from the whole problem.
If symptoms are severe, repeated, or interfere with class, sleep, or safety, suggest contacting the school counseling center or a trusted adult.
