Being a child in today’s changing world is not easy, and parenting our children through the struggles they are facing can make us feel inadequate, helpless, and unsure. How do we support our children navigating through anxiety, depression, school issues, troubles with peers, grief and loss...all of this amidst a global pandemic? Sometimes, kids and families need extra support, and there is no shame in seeking support and help for our kids as they journey through life. Quite the opposite...doing so can provide them with the tools and coping skills they need to in order to tackle whatever they are experiencing, now and in the future.
