How do I explain scars when a young child asks about them?

Scars are reninases of experiences it shows strength that you have over come a trial o sorts. it can be Self-harming is a behaviour and not an illness; it may be a symptom of psychological distress,Self-harming is different from suicidal behaviour; if a young person is self-harming it doesn’t necessarily mean they want to end their life. the reasons can be To escape unbearable distress.To cope with overwhelming or inexpressible emotions.To show their distress to others.To ‘punish’ themselves which can arise from past trauma.To feel something when they are ‘numb’ inside It has become a habit that is difficult to break or it is a compulsive behaviour they feel unable to stop without professional help.It may be a symptom of an underlying mental health disorder.

Explaining scars is a very difficult thing to do to anyone who doesn't experience self-harm but can be especially hard to explain to young children who can not even start to have a concept of it. I'm not sure how beneficial it would be to tell the truth to a child about where the scars came from because it may cause confusion for the child and can be a scary concept for them. I would say if possible to avoid the question and if necessary to reply, just try to explain to them in a vague short way that you got injured.

If a young child ever asks about your scars. Then don't say that you are not comfortable answering it, just answer a young child that those scars are scars of a battle that you fought when you were you her and that those scars aways remind you how strong you were to I overcome and fight the battle. You need to give kids satisfying and logical answers, otherwise kids will be more confused and will probably get wrong idea of the scars. So, I woukd suggest you to answer like this. If you really don't want to tell, that's your choice but if you are happy and healthy, you can always answer that to a young kid.

Kids are nosy but they're also really understanding. Just say that you did things when you were younger and that's the mark that was left. If their super young its okay to say that its an old booboo, but if their old enough to understand, you can being to explain that you "did some things" when you were younger and that's what happened after they helaed. Its also okay to straight up say that that's a personal question and teach them a bit about boundaries. Kids arent as clueless or as mean as people tent to think.

The scars are the traces on our skin that remains after a big wound heals. They always remind us of how strong we were to overcome the injury and return back to our healt and good shape. Those scars are painless but still unique as they point out a story we have been through that noone else had. And still tell ur and tell others how strong we were and that we were able to fight the situation and brave we were to get over the pain and the loss until we could make perfectly and healed completely. Many people love the shape of their scars on their bodies they help them be grateful and see the good side of it.

Children are young and impressionable. As such, it helps to be honest and truthful, while tempering our responses with compassion for how they will process and develop. If a child with at least some reasoning capacity is asking you about scars, it may help to preface it with a question about their own experience, such as, "Have you ever fallen down or gotten a boo-boo?" If they respond yes, you can simply say something like, "Sometimes, when people fall, or get hurt, it leaves a little mark, even if it was a long time ago." If they ask how or if you got hurt, you don't have to give them the specific details of what happened. You can simply say, "Yes, a long time ago, I got hurt, and it left a little mark, but it doesn't hurt anymore" or, "Well, it's a long story for another time, but I'm safe now, and it doesn't hurt anymore." This will help them to recognize that it's okay to talk about hard topics and that scars happen, and life goes on and gets better.

There'll be a lot of different opinions about this, but personally, I believe in encouraging open conversations about mental health from a young age. By 'brushing off' questions about self-harm, you will be enforcing the idea that it is a taboo topic... It is important that children know that this can be talked about in society - so that they know they can ask for help should they ever need it! Keep in mind though, that young children can suffer with self-harm too, so it is important to discuss the subject in a way that is constructive - but not triggering. Don't be ashamed of your scars, they tell a story that you can use to help others.

I understand it is beyond your emotional control to describe that. It is certainly tough to explain that to a young child. They will not understand that and will ask more questions indeed. In my opinion you don't have to tell them exactly but you can tell them that it hurts you, they would feel it. You can tell them that you are working on them and you are applying medicines properly or you can tell them they are old scars if you don't have new scars now. It is also to note that if what I am thinking is what you are going through, then it is not right on your mental health as well as physical health. You must talk to someone professional and experienced on that matter. That would be best for you and the child.

Scars are the reminder of the time when life tried to break you but failed They are like secret roadmaps to a person's history, the fears he has overcome The scars we bear are the signs of a competitor Just like bravery tattoos life has given us That's why people carry them with courage, because they are proud that they have faced the toughest of challenges and are still willing to fight It's a gift only to the strongest of souls, capable of making this world a better place, by treating others with the kindness they once longed for

depends, what kinds of scars? self-harm, abuse? you're a warrior and these are your battle scars. You're fighting the demons off, you're fighting the monsters, the bad guys off and you're winning by staying alive. by being in honor. Scars? what kinds of scars? all of which you are a warrior fighting. You can be real with them but very vaguely. Perhaps, you don't want to scar the young child with your back story, so I suggest you tell them a story, a friendly story about how and where, who the bad guys are, the good guys, etc. it all depends...
