## Caption

More than any other emotion, loneliness feels like it’s your own fault, like you’re being punished for the crime of being yourself. This makes it especially dreadful to bear witness to a lonely kid. A kid feeling ashamed of something that’s out of their control? Intolerable. Anything to make it go away.

For this week's edition of #Brooding, kjezermo surveyed parents with kids who struggle with loneliness about how they’re trying to help — and what parts, as a parent, are hardest. Subscribe at the link in bio to see what they had to say.
