Children's Mental Health During Covid-19
May 18, 2021“I’m feeling so much of my own frustration and frustration in the face of my children's frustration that I am not parenting within my own intention. I am not treating my children with a level of warmth and love and respect that is in line with my intention. And I need to check myself on that. I need to reach out for my own source of support and help.”
This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we will be talking about our children’s mental health in time of a global pandemic and how you can maintain, and hopefully improve, their emotional well-being.
I am going to share some of the highlights that I have learned on the webinar I attended hosted by the Neufeld’s Institute. Additionally, I am going to share tips and insights on how to further support your child’s mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some of the topics I discuss include:
- What to look out for in terms of your child’s emotional health and other reassuring facts to help us ease anxieties told by Dr. Neufeld himself.
- My personal struggles and vulnerabilities dealing with my children’s emotional breakdowns due to quarantine and remote learning.
- Five tips on how to support your children’s mental health during this difficult time.
Eventually, this pandemic will come at ease and we will all move on from the traumatic experience that we are currently suffering. The main goal, however, for parents and caretakers out there is to help our children ease their pain and suffering. And the best way to do that is to heighten our support for our children’s mental health.
