The smallest moments really do matter and you can take those very small times and engage with the child around what they may be feeling, what they may be thinking, in ways that help the children to express what that is.
Children are often the silent sufferers in families battling addiction. In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Jessica Black sheds light on how to approach these delicate conversations with kids. Drawing inspiration from the beloved Fred Rogers, Dr. Black highlights the importance of honest and empathetic communication. Dana Winters, Ph.D., from the Fred Rogers Center, joins the discussion, offering practical advice on how to help children understand and cope with the complexities of addiction within their family.
