Supporting Children Through Emotional Distress - Illustrative Guide #3450280 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts two children in a moment of emotional vulnerability: the child on the left crouches with hands gripping their head, eyes closed in distress, while the child on the right sits beside them, gently placing a hand on their shoulder with a worried yet caring expression. Both wear casual clothing-blue shirt and gray pants for the distressed child, pink shirt and navy pants for the comforter-and their body language conveys empathy, anxiety, and connection. The simple cartoon style makes it accessible for educational or therapeutic contexts.

Commonly used in school counseling materials, parenting blogs, mental health awareness campaigns, and SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curricula to illustrate peer empathy, emotional regulation, and supportive responses to distress. Matches user intent for visual aids on helping children cope with stress, anxiety, or bullying.
