  • Hurricanes, Tornado Storms, Flash Floods, Mudslides, Forest Fires, & Trauma:
    What To Say and Not Say To Children and Adolescents

    We get multi-level, print and electronic, and tragically repetitive news stories that adults take for granted. Still, the weather and natural disasters emotionally impact children because the drama leads to the trauma. Recently, several neighbors with children have asked me about what they should say regarding the fear and worry they see in their children about "weather trauma". It is a real thing. The reoccurring threat of hurricanes, floods, forest fires, and tornado storms has caught the attention of our kids. Their brains cannot properly process the power of these traumas and, therefore, they tighten up, cry, have nightmares, and have lots of questions. Are you ready to answer their questions or recognize their warning signs?
    This broadcast will give you fundamental tips to address your children's reactions and the critical importance of active listening and helpful communication. Be well. Be safe.
    Thank you,
