[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that helps in my experience is to ask questions and help them understand why this is so upsetting. If she has a fall, I'd frame it as - Are you ok? Are you crying because you are hurt or because you got scared? And then maybe another gentle follow up question. The answering also makes them think and speak and provides a good distraction [/quote] This. I also try to help children "rank" their level of upset: big/little or on a scale from 1-10 depending on their cognitive abilities. [/quote]
