When the coronavirus pandemic first began impacting the U.S., we talked with Dr. Phelan about topics that were very stressful for parents:
- Managing scary information
- Checking in with your kids on how they feel about coronavirus
- How you as a parent can take care of your own mental and physical health
The situation has evolved since then, so we wanted to talk about some of these things again in a new light. In this 12-minute video, Dr. Phelan discusses:
- Finding information that is actually useful and not get overwhelmed by negativity
- How do you approach the conversation with your kids to find out how they’re feeling right now?
- Talking to your kids about what school will look like in the fall
- Maintaining your own mental and physical health as a parent—what are the things that are most important?
