You get down to make eye contact on the child's level, and you use words that the child can understand. Don't be ashamed, don't stutter. Do treat this with seriousness. Use a gentle voice, though, making sure always to reassure the child that, if you sound angry, it's not anger with the child but with the perpetrator. Always stay realistic; do not lie to the child, exaggerate, or minimize. Respect the child's feelings no matter what they are; tell the child it's understandable to feel that way.

straight out. sounds crazy? trust me, it's the hardest thing in the world when parents mushy and mash things up. the message gets tied up and distorted. most of the time it gets forgotten.

Be straight up and honest. That's what kids want.
