Let's empower children to actually be physically helping, make sure that we're doing all the things we need to do to be keeping ourselves safe.
When the world turned upside down due to COVID-19, kids felt the impact just as much as adults. In this insightful episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', Maria Shilaos sits down with Dr. Brooks Keeshin, a child abuse pediatrician and psychiatrist at the University of Utah Health and Primary Children's Hospital, to discuss how parents can help their children navigate these turbulent times. Dr. Keeshin emphasizes the importance of having open-ended conversations with kids about the pandemic.
Rather than making assumptions, he suggests that parents should listen to their children's concerns and include them in practical preparations and decision-making. This approach not only reduces anxiety but also empowers children, making them feel part of the solution. Dr. Keeshin shares valuable tips on recognizing signs of stress in children, such as changes in behavior or sleep patterns, and offers advice on how parents can create a safe space for their kids to express their emotions.
By allowing children to voice their fears and feelings, parents can help them feel heard and supported. Tune in to this episode for practical advice on fostering open communication and emotional resilience in your children during these challenging times.
