◊Feel: Show Empathy. Put yourself in others’ shoes and show them they aren’t alone in their feelings.
◊Look and Lean In: Use eye contact and body language — body language says a lot!
◊Ask: Be curious and ask questions — learn something and be thoughtful.
◊Shhh!: Be quiet and listen — less talking and more listening.
◊Hide: Get rid of distractions from your phone or devices — turn them off and put them away.

As always, if we can be of assistance to your family please contact us!
