The Keys to Adapting

    One of the keys to helping children adapt will be about the strength
    of your ability to listen to them.


    Relationships

    will be the key to healing, adapting, adjusting and resilience.
    Talking & listening & just holding the space for children to feel
    heard will help them feel understood. Emotions will be complex
    depending on the age of your children & their personal experience
    of the last few months.


    Try not to second guess how they feel & don’t negate what they
    say. Just hold the space for them to talk with you.


    Stay calm and confident and be that safe and stable place for
    children to explore their feelings free from criticism, judgement or
    censure.
