Ways to be helpful with children and youth in crisis
Definition
Try not to over-react. If you panic, your children will be more afraid.
Take charge if you need to. It will make your children feel safer. Let them know they will be looked after.
Talk with your children about what's happening, even if it is hard.
Calm down before explaining the situation to them and reassure them that you will work through this.
Say enough for them to understand what has happened or what the problem is. Ask them what else they want to know but don’t give them details they don’t need.
Keep it simple and use words they understand. Saying that someone 'died' is better than 'passed away'. Depending on their age you may have to repeat things many times, even simple things.
Take charge if you need to. It will make your children feel safer. Let them know they will be looked after.
