Getting through it: who helps, what helps, and looking back, sentence 8

Parents would usually rather know about a problem and worry than not know; "bottling it up" means keeping feelings inside, which tends to make them heavier.

Who acts: Parents, bottling · What happens: know, not know, bottle up, mean, keep, tend · To what, where: worry, feelings, Parents · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Getting through it: who helps, what helps, and looking back» of the reflection course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Parents, bottling), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
