I deal with TONS of kid drama on a school day basis. Kids are so damn vulnerable and sometimes it helps to put things in perspective and then DO one thing that provides a bit more security for whatever the drama is, If the drama is about mosquitos, then acknowledge the drama fit and follow that with research to back up the big odds picture. Sadly, much of my kid drama is around family issues or a friend who might be cutting or in serious help. I always give attention to that floating anxiety and try to ground that in something concrete for the child - and go from there. At least they usually leave the office feeling, if nothing else, heard.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.com
