💙 Supporting young children following a traumatic event and distressing event 💙

As children try and make sense of what has happened, it is normal for them to experience many mixed emotions, distressing thoughts and images.

What can help:

• Let children know their reactions are normal and understandable and that you are there for them

• Create safety and predictability with usual routines and activities, where possible

• Keep your child well fuelled and rested with regular food, drinks, bathing and sleeping

• Be available to talk when your child is ready, be curious about what they are saying, drawing or how they are playing

• Help children make sense of what has happened; provide simple age appropriate answers to questions

• Encourage connection with friends and family; children feel safe with normality

• Recognise that many changes in behaviour are temporary and probably triggered by fear and distress caused by the original event

• Have realistic expectations of your child, reduce unnecessary demands

🛑Migraine means missing out. From loved ones’ birthday celebrations to career progression, migraine means missed opportunities.
🛑Migraine means so much more than ‘just a headache’. Help us reach more people, and change the perception of migraine, by getting involved.
