Most kids are too young to understand and have trouble talking about their feelings. Sometimes those bottled up emotions can surface as dangerous behaviors. Things like that if they internalize everything. Getting your kids to talk about their feeling early is the key to healthy healing. Parents need to listen and answer questions honestly.
