Hard things at home: broken promises, silence, money and illness, sentence 5

Many children try to fix the mood at home by being the clown, the carer or the perfect one, but that is not a child's job; telling another trusted adult, like an aunt or a teacher, is how help usually starts.

Who acts: Many children, that, help · What happens: try, fix, be, not be, tell, trust · To what, where: mood, home, clown, job, trusted adult · Speech: someone speaks here

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
