Supporting Tweens' Emotional Health: Tips for Parents
“I think this is definitely a great opportunity for that, because there are so many unknowns right now and there is a lot of concern and uncertainty, and so this is an opportunity to have that conversation with your tweens to say: look, there's a lot that we don't know right now, but how can we both, you know, focus on the positive, manage our own concerns and anxiety?”
Navigating the emotional landscape of tweens, especially during a pandemic, can be challenging for any parent. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos chats with Tammer Attalla, Director of Pediatric Behavioral Health Services at Primary Children's Hospital, and Jessica Strong, the hospital's Community Health Manager. They dive into practical advice for maintaining your tween's emotional well-being during these uncertain times.
The conversation highlights the importance of regular, meaningful talks between parents and tweens, focusing on quality rather than quantity. Tammer and Jessica also share strategies for helping tweens manage anxiety and stay positive, even when the world feels chaotic. From routine check-ins to creative socially distanced activities like movie parties, this episode is packed with actionable tips. If you're a parent looking to support your tween's mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
