Gesture & etiquette
Sit or crouch at eye level to remove any height intimidation; place your hand near theirs as a visible anchor of support (without grabbing); begin the action yourself first to model it and show there's nothing to fear.
Validating the fear first ('少し怖いですよね') before encouraging action is far more effective than dismissing it. This acknowledgment builds trust and lowers psychological resistance. The 'together' framing ('一緒に') positions the caregiver as a co-participant, not an authority figure imposing an action.
