Be someone they know they can count on to listen to them and acknowledge what they are feeling even if they cannot verbalize it, they sometimes just need someone to be there to be in their presence to help them remain in a safe place and they can process. Sometimes just sitting down next to a child is the best thing you can do. Then when they verbalize know its okay to talk, but its never a bad idea to just let them be there and then as they dictate move with positive feedback to help them feel better.
