TIP: A child does not always need an answer. Sometimes they need someone who will listen.
MAKE HOME AND SCHOOL THEIR SAFE PLACE.
Children handle stress better when they know they have people who will listen, support, and stand beside them. Regular family routines can create a sense of safety and belonging.
• Make time to talk without phones or other distractions.
• Eat together when you can.
• Create simple family traditions.
• Listen without rushing to fix the problem.
• Remind them: “You can always come to me.”
