  8. Learn about the topic, stay attentive, be loving to yourself and others. You're the miracle! Great work tonight! 5:53 PM Feb 16th via web
  9. @DreamFog I talk about that a lot in Verbal First Aid ...very clever! 5:52 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to DreamFog
  10. @CreateWithJoy1 @MomSpark Right on! #protectachild 5:49 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to CreateWithJoy1
  11. @SusanRaeTulsa @MomSpark Need more good everything: homes, support services, a better economy. It's hard times for kids #protectachild 5:46 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to SusanRaeTulsa
  12. @Mom2Winnie Correct. But that is different than looking for a drama, which I have seen. That can be harmful to everyone #protectachild 5:44 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to Mom2Winnie
  13. @kymnasium @DreamFog P.S., unless there were good reason for that child to be afraid. Then I'd do whatever I needed to #protectachild 5:41 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to kymnasium
  14. @kymnasium @DreamFog If the topic comes up, yes. Do talk. If the child is very young, I would not try to make them afraid #protectachild 5:41 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to kymnasium
  15. @haleytweetstoo @LLLSummer I've seen teachers over zealous that it backfired and the report was forced but kid wasn't abused #protectachild 5:40 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to haleytweetstoo
  16. @LLLSummer Wisdom is a firm grasp of the obvious. Sometimes we can just ask "are you okay?" #protectachild 5:37 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to LLLSummer
  17. @candacki @MomSpark yes. teachers, doctors, social workers, mental health workers of all kinds, nurses...etc... #protectachild 5:37 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to candacki
  18. @4evamamii gently, calmly, without expecting anything. If we go in looking for a big drama we can be harmful #protectachild 5:35 PM Feb 16th via web in reply to 4evamamii
  19. If you know the child, you can also ask if everything is okay. Sometimes, just having someone care helps them to talk...#protectachild 5:34 PM Feb 16th via web
  20. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong AND you see evidence, consult a professional in your area or report it to #protectachild 5:32 PM Feb 16th via web
