PARENTS
There is no need to be embarrassed about asking questions or reaching out for help. It is okay to be concerned about your child and it is your job as a parent to make sure that you are doing everything you can to get them the support they need. You know your child better than anyone, and if your instinct tells you that something is wrong and this is not “just a phase” then you should listen.
