Here's a ripper from the news.com.au website. I suspect some adults might benefit from the advice too.

Child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg tells how to talk to children about Patrick Dangerfield leaving the Adelaide Crows

IN thousands of Crows-mad families like mine, the Patrick Dangerfield conversation has been repeated constantly throughout the year.

Now that what so many of us expected has been confirmed, fans like my nine-year-old son will have to work out what to do with their number 32 guernseys.

For many children, he is a role model, both for on-field ability and off-field character.

Now he is walking out on their club to ply his competition-leading talents elsewhere.

Child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg says Dangerfield’s defection is a valuable lesson for children in dealing with loss.

“The number one lesson any parent should teach their kids is if in life you can’t change something, you can always change the way you think about it,” said Dr Carr-Gregg.

“This isn’t going to be the first disappointment they’re going to have and it’s a relatively minor one.

“This is a really good example of how to deal with loss.”

Crows-supporting parents should talk about any feelings of sadness, because this helps validate and legitimise children’s similar feelings.

Dangerfield’s departure also helps teach children that even if they had wanted the star to stay, you can’t always get what you want.

Dr Carr-Gregg suggested parents say something like: “This is the best thing for Patrick. We can sit back and think about all the great memories and wonderful contribution he made to the club.

“We wish him the best as a person. He needs to do this for his own mental health and there’s no point in him staying if he’s unhappy.”

Dr Carr-Gregg, a Hawthorn supporter, is managing director of The Young and Well Co-operative Research Centre, established by the Federal Government.

Asked about the possibility of Crows fans booing Dangerfield upon his return to Adelaide Oval — likely when playing for Geelong — Dr Carr-Gregg said that would be “a sign of acute immaturity”.

Has Dangerfield actually nominated Geelong yet or just said that he's going back to Victoria? A few people in the social media world that players like Aish and Danger haven't nominated a club yet which means the club they want to go to are still in the finals. bit of a long bow to draw but a a nice way to get Hawthorn and North fans excited

Kane Richardson isn't taking the news well

Dangerfield will be at Geelong, Aish will at the crows via trade. I suspect the deal has already been agreed to.

Seen a post from a mate on Adelaide Crows Pride on FB.

Their "Put Your Cats Out" post was pretty funny. I'd post it if I knew how to post pictures. Pathetic on my behalf I know.

If only we had this level of journalism when I was a young lad and Plugga left St Kilda

Dont be so sure, dont think the Crows are going to lie down totally re this, some talk around that Dangerfield can go to Geelong if they hand over Bilcavs

Not a hope in hell

[bennymacca]

360 reporting that campo won't put his hand up for the senior coaching job, both due to family commitments and on the back of Roo's comments last week.

They mentioned Scott burns and don Pyke as the two front runners.

Worsfold also officially putting his hand up for the Essendon job, so just a formality now

[bennymacca]

Talia brothers saying it is nothing more than general footy conversation, robbo saying they should have come out today with a press conference rather than a players association statement.

Lol he is getting angry.

I tend to agree with him though, they should have come out.

Interesting to actually see the alleged details

[bennymacca]

Gerard saying that the crows absolutely should use any info you get, and I agree with that too.

What was the rest of the deal last year where the Crows gave Geelong pick 10 in exchange for pick 14?
Maybe that was a down payment to ensure Geelong traded for paddy rather than took him as a free agent? It seemed a weird deal at the time.

Interesting conspiracy theory, makes a lot of sense though. I'm starting to worry when we're thinking the same way lately.

Whats wrong with Campo...?

Lets not make too many more mistakes.

I judge someone as cool under pressure...

Give him a go... How many premierships have the crows won in the past 10 years...?

We upgraded our second pick from 40 something to 35.

That was all about the fact that we knew we could still get lever at 14, so having 10 was redundant.

Apparently he still wants to stay on as an assistant. Hope he does.

Our education would indeed reach your level if we took every leaf out of every book.

Wow some of you blokes think Crows fans are precious. Last time I checked words to a song didn't win you games of football.

Thanks for your efforts Dangerfield, it has been great having you at the club. Two early draft picks might produce two players as good as him

Not all crows fans are precious, but a lot are. Considering people stil cry about Tippett suggest that

Most of the people crying about Tippett nowdays are Swans fans tho!

Unsure a 50 goal season and career best form is something to cry about. Been very good this year
