In this episode we start to go through a general process of how to help a child that is struggling with their mental health. In this series we will get more specific when we go through various mental health related issues but this episode will set the framework!

Framework:

1. Deal with the emotion first by validating and repetition
2. Comfort child in a way that is effective for them
3. allow them to make a decision about the situation now or at a later time.
