Coping Skills for Children

Helping Your Children Cope!

 Beginning to do these three things, with your children, on a consistent basis NOW, CAN make all the difference in helping your children cope and deal with their lives and their personal stresses in healthier and safer ways...

1. Give your child your FULL attention when he or she  speaks to you.


2. Listen to their feelings without judgement of them as people. Teach them they don't ever have to ACT on their feelings, but instead to learn to deal with and find solutions to the problems those feelings may be about.

3. Listen to your child's needs. Your child's feelings are expressing, in some way, what his or her needs are all about. Then help your child with these needs, or get professional mental health assistance for your child, from a licensed counselor,
