A writer can use a statement that names a parent's biggest fear. This shows the writer understands the parent's anxiety. It makes the parent feel understood. The parent will then be more open to the information. The opening can also challenge a common belief. This offers a new way of thinking. It can make a difficult task seem more possible. Another way is to show a hidden risk of not talking about a topic. This creates urgency for the parent. It encourages the parent to take action.
A writer creates an article for parents. The article starts with, "Your biggest fear is not saying the wrong thing. It is that no words can make the world truly safe for your child." A parent reads this and feels understood. The parent continues reading the article. If the writer had started with simple advice, the parent might not have felt the same connection.
