Navigating Difficult News Events with Children: A Parent Toolkit with the Belmont Wellness Coalition
Wednesday, October 136:30—7:30 PMOnline
There is no shortage of painful topics in the news, all around us. But many parents don’t know how to talk with their children about these concerning events. Will their children be traumatized? How much detail should they go into? Do you need to explain it, or just validate kids’ concerns? Can kids even understand such events?
Join Belmont Wellness Coalition’s Lisa Gibalerio, MPH, and Sophia Suarez-Friedman, LCSW, to explore:
-Best practices for engaging in challenging conversations
-What it really means to validate our kids' thoughts and feelings
-How we manage our own emotional responses
