Saying the right thing is not to hide but to tell the child, Demirkaya said: “Those who go to school do already know the reason for school break. For this reason, we must answer the questions they are curious about, without denial and appropriate for the child's level of development. Their closest and most trusted people are their parents. Inconsistency and anxious approaches from their parents can damage the child's sense of trust. Therefore, it is necessary to be clear, reliable, realistic and clear. However, sometimes sharing more detailed information can be a burden for the child. First of all, we must control our own feelings and thoughts as parents. Children learn by observing their parents. Even if we don't say anything, children see our behavior and observe our fear of our eyes. Anxiety is also contagious; it affects children first.”
