Emotional support is as important as physical care. Consider the following:
- Listen Actively: Encourage your child to express their feelings and listen without judgment. - Provide Reassurance: Offer comfort and reassurance, especially during medical procedures or hospitalizations. - Maintain Normalcy: As much as possible, maintain routines and normalcy to provide a sense of stability. - Seek Professional Help: If your child is struggling emotionally, consider seeking help from a mental health professional such as a psychologist or counselor.
