If you suspect your child might run away, consider the following steps:

1. Communicate openly with your child and listen to their concerns.
2. Establish trust and provide a supportive environment.
3. Seek professional help if necessary, such as family counseling or therapy.
4. Reach out to your child’s school for additional support.
5. Create a safety plan together with your child, outlining steps they can take if they feel the need to leave home.
