How can parents support a child after heartbreak?

How can parents support a child after heartbreak? This topic is not about finding a perfect script. It is about slowing the moment down, protecting dignity, and choosing a response that keeps communication and safety possible.

Practice 1
Name what is happening without labeling the person. Describe observable words, actions, and impact.
Practice 2

Practice 3
Agree on one small next step. If there is coercion, violence, or immediate danger, prioritize safety and local professional support.
