The National Center for Mental Health mentioned a number of tips on how to deal with emotional trauma in children.
He pointed out that “it is necessary to communicate with the child well and talk to him about the problem or incident that he experienced, which gives him a feeling of reassurance.
And he indicated that care must be taken to ensure that the family behaves normally, so that the usual activities must be practiced, as if there is no problem.
Inclusion and diversification of activities
The center stressed the need to contain the child and let him know that you care about him and that you are always there to help him and ready to do anything to protect him.
He also showed that the child must be helped to express his feelings in different ways, such as speaking, drawing or writing.
He pointed out the importance of seeking help from specialists when feeling that the child’s behavior has exceeded the normal limit that normal children go through, in addition to the need for the child to answer all his questions frankly and without feeling that you are hiding some important matters from him.
