Some children won't say, “I'm hurting.”
Sometimes, the signs are hidden.
They may stop laughing. Become unusually quiet. Withdraw from others. Or simply become different from the child they used to be.
That is why we must pay attention.
A simple question like “You seem different lately. Do you want to talk?” could open the door for a child who has been silently carrying a burden.
Notice the signs. Ask the question. Listen without judgment. Believe them. Protect them.
Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and protected. Together, we can break the silence and break the cycle.
🩷 SAFE HOMES. OPEN COMMUNICATION. PROTECTED CHILDREN.
Talk. Listen. Believe. Protect.
