First of all, be clear about what your concern relates to. If it's in terms of how your child is behaving, or the things that they're actually saying, obviously you need to address those. If the concern relates to your own experience, or possibly your own emotional social baggage, be clear about that and talk it through with other adult members of the family. It's always good to get support in matters of this kind, and as always, it's important to spend time and to give time to your child to talk through the worries.
