When Your Child Says, 'I Need to Tell You Something Bad'

Last night, my son came to me with a serious look in his eyes and said, "Mom, I need to tell you something terrible." My heart skipped a beat. In that moment, a thousand worries raced through my mind—was he in trouble at school, did he hurt someone, or was he hiding something big? I tried to stay calm and reminded myself that creating a safe space for him to share was most important. Sometimes, what feels terrible to our kids might be something small to us, but huge in their world. Have you ever faced a moment like this with your child? How did you handle it?
