When Your Child Gets Caught Up in "What-Ifs"

Try this 2-minute PACE tool when "what-ifs" take over:

Pause: Take a slow breath together.

Acknowledge: "Your brain is getting pulled into a lot of 'what ifs'."

Contain: "We don't have to solve all of this right now."

Engage: "What's one small step we can take?"

This helps your child feel less stuck—and see that their thoughts don't have to take over.

This is just one of many tools—and the more tools you have, the better you can help your child handle these "what-if" loops when they come up.
