Example Prompt

Help me explain [FAMILY CHANGE: divorce/separation/moving/parent losing job/etc.] to my [AGE] year old. What's happening: [SITUATION]. Their personality: [DESCRIBE]. Their likely concerns: [WHAT MIGHT WORRY THEM]. Help me: what to say in the first conversation, what NOT to say, how to answer likely questions, and signs they might need extra support.

Pro Tip

Practice saying it out loud before the real conversation—hearing yourself helps you find natural language and spots emotional traps.
