You asked, and we delivered! As we collected questions from YOU, our WeSTAT community about what you wanted to ask Dr. Rachel about regarding The Corona and your kids-the most popular query centered around the social and emotional health of our kiddos and back to school.
In this episode, the Ohio chapter Pediatrician of the Year (2019) for the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Andrew Garner, answers our plethora of questions on how all this COVID stress is impacting our kids. Whether it is in person-school, virtual learning, socialization, or the lack thereof, and the stress that hangs over us all like the heavy cloud of 2020, Dr. Garner, who co-authored the AAP's technical report and policy statement on childhood toxic stress, gives us many tangible takeaways and ideas on how to best manage this historic time, even if they can't be black and white.
