How We Can Support Children Through Hard Times By Being Better Listeners


Listen Later

This past year of a deadly pandemic has been tough on everyone, but it’s been particularly hard for children. Most have had to cope with having their entire routines turned upside-down by the removal of in-person school. And now, over a year later, many are dealing with the uncertainty of going back to school before they can be vaccinated. To make sense of this time of instability, we called up Dr. Gina Pasquale, an expert in child mental health. In this episode, she shares insights into what this year has been like for children all over the country, and provides some invaluable strategies for supporting not only children but all of the people we care about, as we face the next big transition—and the rest of our lives.
