Tips for your visit:

Be honest with your child about the purpose of the appointment. Inform your child that someone wishes to talk with him or her about what occurred.

Do not rehearse with your child or tell your child what to say. If your child begins to talk about what occurred, you can let them finish talking and thank them for sharing with you.

Depending on the age of your child, consider the most appropriate time to tell them about the appointment.

Reassure your child and give them permission to talk freely and to tell the truth.
Ease their fears or worries by comforting them and telling them that everything will be okay.
