Default Injured spruce

A small (3') spruce on rental property was injured by a tenant's
children. Basically, about 90% of the needles were torn off, and perhaps
15-20% of the smaller branches were broken.

I've replanted the tree in a safer spot, but other than pruning off the
obviously broken branches, I'm unsure what else I can do to nurse it
back to health. It's been very rainy in the upper midwest, which may be
helping or not; there is fresh green growth and some of the stripped
branches already have small buds appearing.

Anything better than benign neglect to suggest?
