You ask: "what is the hardest part." Pls ask about the easiest part :). Make sure the metaphor is 1) not patronizing, 2) sounds sincere, 3) age appropriate and topical, 4) not too complicated. I could fish for you or teach you to fish (oops a metphor). Read "Metaphoria" by Battino, "Metaphors we live by" by Lakoff and Johnson, and "Therapeutic Metaphors" by Gordon.
