So whether it is dressing up, it can be something like that, it can be: hey, let's go outside and blow some bubbles together.
Imagine being a kid in a world turned upside down by a pandemic. Schools are virtual, playdates are cancelled, and mom and dad are working from home. It's a lot for young minds to handle. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi chats with psychologist Cindy Rose about ways parents can help their kids navigate this strange new world.
Cindy offers practical advice on keeping the home environment as normal as possible and suggests some old-school fun activities to keep the kids engaged and away from screens. Remember board games? Cindy does, and she thinks they’re a fantastic way to bring the family together. But it's not just about fun and games. Cindy also talks about recognizing and addressing mental health concerns, both for kids and parents.
She introduces the 'name it to tame it' technique, a simple yet effective way to help kids manage their emotions. The conversation also touches on the importance of parent communication and self-care. Everyone's struggling in their own way, and it's crucial to acknowledge that. If you're looking for ways to support your kids through social isolation and online learning, this episode is packed with valuable insights and heartwarming ideas.
