[quote=Anonymous]You need to remove all “sharps”. No scissors, no razors, no knives, etc. Lock them up. Do a skin check every day. Bandage/give appropriate medical treatment to any new cuts. A teen intent on cutting will find a way (btw, limit internet access. There are cutting instagrams, etc, and they learn tricks. Hiding sharps in books or stuffed animals are some of them). If it’s early, you might actually prevent more cutting. If it more entrenched, it’s critical that you send the signal that you are taking this seriously. It tells them they are worth the extra effort. If you blow it off, it reinforces that they are crap. Stay super calm about all of it though. Like “sweetheart, I’m just going to take the scissors and razors now, because I want to to be safe.” [/quote]
