Helping Children Through Covid-19 Challenges
A special local event for parents will focus on kids and mental health.
And if you’re a parent you might want to check it out. Why? Because kids have tons of questions about the current health emergency.
Some kids are old enough to be able to ask the questions… but if your kids are under 10, they might not have the personal awareness to be able to put their emotions into words.
So, to help: Hackensack Meridian Health is organizing two online seminars to offer free help to parents.
We spoke with their Vice President of Community Outreach, Laura Frank, about the free events on May 7 at 11am and May11 at 6:30pm.
Topics that they’ll cover include:
Understanding your kid’s stage of emotional development. It’s different for all kids at all different ages.
Listening to and validating feelings.
How to decrease long-term impact of trauma.
