For Parents & Clinicians
Protect. Then nurture.
Any grown-up working with a kid—as a parent, educator, clinician, or coach—wants to protect and nurture them. Protecting youth from pain is a biologically rooted instinct. So, of course, adults will do whatever they can to protect that kid from pain and suffering.

And that’s just it. It is hard to know exactly how to protect a kid from pain.
Luckily, there are resources to help grown-ups learn and support kids and teens through pain.
And, get this, we know that WORDS can make more of a difference on the pain experience than actual medicines (a very nerdy study explains this well).
