Nurturing Resilience in Kids
Welcome back to the Parenting Uncovered Podcast with Dave and Ashley! Today, we're diving into the delicate topic of navigating changes in the family, especially grief, and how it impacts our children. It's crucial to remember that kids process these experiences differently based on their age and developmental stage. Rather than avoiding the conversation or expecting them to cope like adults, we need to engage in open, age-appropriate dialogues. Encourage your children to ask questions, and reassure them that it's okay if we don't have all the answers. We'll also explore ways to honor memories and empower our kids through the healing process. Join us as we uncover these important parenting strategies together!
