Dr. David J. Schonfeld joins host Dr. Edith Brancho-Sanchez to talk about strategies for helping children prepare for natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes and other catastrophic events. He discusses his family’s evacuation from the Eaton Fire in California and suggests age-appropriate ways to talk to children facing a natural disaster. In the aftermath, children may experience grief but can also develop “post-traumatic growth.” For resources go to healthychildren.org/podcast.
