It's a big deal, even though perhaps from our perspective as adults it may not be- and so really appreciating that and helping them acknowledge what their experience actually is, rather than what may happen at times where we kind of have a binary response, like they have a bad feeling about something or they have a good feeling about something.
Parenting tweens during a pandemic is no small feat, and Intermountain Healthcare has stepped up to offer a helping hand. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with Tammer Attalla, Director of Pediatric Behavioral Health Services for Primary Children's Hospital, and Jessica Strong, the hospital's Community Health Manager. They dive into a new program designed to keep tweens emotionally healthy in these challenging times.
The program equips parents with practical tools like a feelings wheel to help kids name their emotions and encourages techniques such as reflective listening. It's not just about talking but truly hearing and validating what tweens are going through. With so much screen time these days, the program also emphasizes the importance of eye contact and active listening.
If you're a parent looking for ways to support your child's emotional well-being, this episode is packed with actionable advice and hopeful insights. Tune in to learn how to navigate these emotional waters together.
