"What an adult might refer to as feeling lonely,
a child might refer to as feeling bored or not good," said Dr
Christopherson. "It's important to know that children's language about

feelings is much simpler."
Studies showed that feeling lonely could make kids feel sad and
worried. A survey showed two-thirds of 11- to 17-year-olds reported they felt stressed out by loneliness.
"Loneliness can happen when we're in a group with our friends," said Dr Christopherson.
It can be hard for kids to talk about these feelings. Dr Christopherson explains that listening is a
good first step.
"When a child is talking about feeling bored," said Dr Christopherson, "they don't want to do
anything, and they would just rather sit around. Parents could say, 'It sounds like you're feeling sad' or 'It
sounds like you're feeling anxious' when they describe their anxiety of how their body feels."
Families should also look out for any changes in their kids' behavior.
"If a child who always plays with his/her friends suddenly doesn't want to play with those
friends," said Dr Christopherson, "that's an important change in behavior we look out for."
By creating a conversation and showing no judgment, adults can help kids better understand
their feelings of loneliness.
People of all ages can feel lonely. But children this feeling most of the time. They
express loneliness in . Studies showed loneliness could cause kids . It can happen
