How to Help My Child Stop Cutting
  • Use distractions in place of analyzing the emotion. Some people feel that rather than analyzing their emotions, they feel better when they get rid of them or forget them completely. When you feel the urge to cut, try distracting yourself by trying out the following:
  1. Drink a glass of water
  2. Watch TV
  3. Exercise, run, walk, or just dance, ride your bike
  4. Go for a walk
  5. Spend time with your pet

Finally, teach your child to learn to love themself. There are many positive self-help books that are available help guide them through the self loving process.
