Navigating Uncertainty with Children
- Acknowledge the uncertainty and validate children's feelings.
- Remind yourself that you are the adult and your children need you to be grounded, even if you feel shaky inside.
Sharing Difficult Information
- Share age-appropriate information with children, without lying, to build trust.
- Start by asking what they know or have heard, then offer reassurance and answer their questions honestly.
Setting Boundaries While Maintaining Connection
- Establish clear boundaries and limits, not harshly, but because you are the adult.
- Remember that children don't have to be happy with the boundaries, and it's okay if they express negative feelings.
