 | | 4 / 5 4. What if my teacher asks me a question and I don't know the answer?
Let him know that it's always okay to say "I don't know". Tell your child that it's the teacher's job to help him learn and that he or she will be happy to explain the things he doesn't know.
Role-playing helps, too. Play the teacher and call on her to answer a question in class. "Practice asking him some questions he might stumble over or not know and have him rehearse saying, 'I don't know the answer,' while staying relaxed and present centered," says Diane Peters Mayer, M.S.W., author of Overcoming School Anxiety.
