As a therapist, our job, and even as a parent, was to validate the feelings, because I think some adults- and I've seen that on my own social with friends that are also in their 40s- saying they're anxious about going out in public now again.
Imagine being a child today. First, they faced the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, they're grappling with fears about the war in Ukraine. It's a lot for young minds to handle. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with therapist Angel Graham from Pathstone Mental Health to discuss the mental toll these events are taking on our children.
Angel dives into the importance of validating children's feelings and being transparent about what's happening in the world. She emphasizes the power of empathy and how it can foster resilience in kids. For parents and caregivers, Angel offers practical advice on how to talk to children of all ages about these challenging topics. She highlights the significance of being a role model when it comes to managing emotions and finding positive aspects amidst the chaos.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to support the younger generation through these uncertain times. Tune in for actionable tips that can help make a difference in your child's mental well-being.
