Take glass down
The glass sits up high and feels fragile, and the thought of a broken floor makes the hand hesitate before it even reaches. The visual support below shows a safe grip and a steady place to set the glass, step by step.

About this visual support
What charges the act of taking a glass down is the risk that rides along with it. The glass often sits a stretch up, it is smooth and heavy enough to feel wobbly in a small hand, and the image of shattered glass across the floor makes a child rather not chance it. It is not the reaching that blocks them, but the uncertainty of what happens if it slips.
Visual support eases that worry by showing the act as something that can be done right. A picture of gripping the glass with both hands, one of holding it close to the body, and one of the spot where it is set down give the child a clear path from shelf to table instead of a single nervous stretch.
A concrete tip: decide in advance on a fixed landing spot near the edge and show it on its own picture, so the child knows exactly where the glass is going before it is even lifted. Then the goal is as clear as the grip. In Routined you can put the steps in order and show the landing spot, so the child can rehearse the same safe path every time.
