- Reassure your children that you love them no matter what. Remind them that there will be good days and harder days, but that you will always be there for them.
- Encourage open and honest conversation. You can provide prompts, such as, “I felt bad because . . . ” or “I was scared when . . .” or “I’m worried about . . . “
