Kids’ feelings are the most important in this conversation; make sure they aren’t afraid to talk about their problems. Tell them that it’s okay to express themselves as they wish. You are there to listen to them and they can count on you.

4
Show them how to say “NO” and avoid peer pressure. Help them to build confidence. Don’t stop the conversation; see if the children have no more worries.

Do your best to connect with your teenager and let them know that you are there for them if they want to talk again anytime. Try to make them stronger so they can deal with the danger that the Momo challenge represents even if you aren’t next to them. You know how that activity ends, hence the importance of prevention.
