A member asked:
How can you explain self harm scars to a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Honestly: Without a lot of detail. Something along the lines of, "i hurt myself when i was younger but I am older now and know that it is not a good thing. Sometimes we do things when we are younger that we later realize are not good for us. ".
