If a child comes forward to a nursery practitioner saying that they are worried about someone, Dr Licht advises that you talk about the responsibility of the worry, and explain that this is not their burden to bear. Even at this young age, children begin to understand the role that everyone has to play: a nursery practitioner, a parent, a doctor. You can communicate with the child that there are people who are responsible for the safety of that person working each day, to eliminate the child’s sense of responsibility.
