                         “This is what I learned is important to you… your friends, you worry
                         about your mum a lot, you really love both your parents, you are scared
                         in the dark, you don’t like it when mum or dad say bad things about
                         each other to you… Am I right? Can I tell mum and dad that these are
                         the things that you think or worry about?”

                   If the child says yes, then you can anchor these concerns into the CYCS and share with
                   the parents.
