As parents, we ask our children countless questions every day. “How was school?” “Did you eat your lunch?” “Is everything okay?” Most of the time, the answer is a quick “Yes.” But here’s the question many parents never stop to think about: What if everything wasn’t okay? Would your child tell you?The truth is, children don’t always have the words to explain when they’re scared, uncomfortable or being harmed. Sometimes they become quieter. Sometimes they suddenly change their behaviour. Sometimes they give subtle signs that are easy to dismiss as “just a phase.”
