In Episode 44 of the Life Skills 4 Kids Podcast, Deb does a check in to see how everyone is coping post COVID-19. Kids can be so sensitive, it’s tough to help them cope with the rapid changes in the world around us. First, online learning. Now they’re going back to school in person. And the world around us is struggling to adjust to in-person life again, safely. And she shares the four strong anchors she uses to steady our kids through these uncertain times.
In this episode she shares:
- Feedback from listeners regarding how they’re coping.
- The pressure schools are putting on parents regarding school.
- The feelings that children are having in isolation.
- The effects of COVID-19 on multiple sectors of people.
Kids today are growing up in a fast-paced world where information and opportunity overload can be overwhelming.
Based on many years of clinical experience as an Occupational Therapist, Deb Hopper has been using her Just Right Kids® Model to teach children to communicate and manage their stress and anxiety by:
– Identifying their “body speed”,
– Understanding their stress triggers, and
– Implementing simple strategies to reduce anxiety and stress.
