Processing COVID with Kids

Hello! Guess what? I’m back! If you’re an avid listener, you’ll know I took a break from the podcast to focus on supporting on my own children while they were remote learning during the pandemic. 

One thing I really missed doing last year was meeting face-to-face with my clients. I got myself vaccinated as soon as possible and in our first sessions back, we worked on processing which involves a simple exercise of 4 questions…

Not only can you work on this with your kids, but you can think about these questions for yourself. I have certainly done so, and it has inspired me to create new resources for Coping Skills for Kids. I have a new course for professionals working with teens who have anxiety (link below). I have also created a ‘Reset Space’ which helps kids manage their emotions while at school as well as a sensory activity book which will both be available soon.

As mentioned in the episode, you can listen to my episode on ‘Silver Linings’ here - https://www.janinehalloran.com/podcast/calm-and-connected-episode-64

And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
