Course Overview
We've all felt like running away from something at some point in our lives, whether that's running away from a relationship, distancing ourselves from friends, leaving a job when things get too much or actually running away from home.
So, the chances we understand how kids can feel more.
In this course, we look at how you can handle a situation where a child either has or wants to run away.
We will demonstrate a conversation that can take the heat out of the situation, while making sure children are prepared in case they do decide to leave.
