In this day and age, it is increasingly important to connect with kids about difficult topics. This includes conversations about school shootings, puberty, alcohol\/drug use, self-harm, inappropriate content on social media, and more. If you\u2019re finding it hard to talk to your child about these topics, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n
While it may be challenging, these conversations will allow you to better connect with your child and help them lead safe, healthy lives. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you navigate these topics:<\/p>\n

If your child isn\u2019t willing to engage in these conversations, or shows significant changes in their mood and behavior, it may be helpful to connect them to a therapist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
