So, how do parents have the honest “conversations” with your teenager to resolve and create healthy mental mindfulness, ease their fears, tensions, and uncertainties still amid COVID-19, while restoring justice to our “most” vulnerable — our precious children?
So here’s what we know, a New Year, and another level of stressors surrounding the Coronavirus. According to the CDC: Education within a third place environment still needs to be “trauma” focused and sensitive in schools and virtually from home-base. Children are feeling empty, isolated and detached from extra-curricula activities like football, cheerleading, drama club and many more.
COVID-19, the “invisible” enemy has placed a tremendous amount of “emotional” stress on our teens, teachers, parents and lawmakers. It’s NOT getting any easier. Period.
In an Interview Stacey will share the following:
1. Communicate the Challenging Safety Rules. Parents must open their mouths, and speak candidly about the pandemic from a place of safety. Social-Distancing, Face Masks are Top priority for any gathering. Also, answering teens questions with purpose.
2. Suicide is the #2 leading cause of death among teens in the US, according to the CDC. Vehicle accidents are still the #1 leading cause of death among teens. Super Bowl {55} Master Rule – NO Drinking, Texting and Driving IF you attend a celebration.
3. Travel in groups, especially if going places on foot. Many newcomers, visitors to the area and ‘strange’ people with NOT the BEST intentions at-heart — mostly look for seemingly lonely, isolated and emotionally empty young people to lure into the Sex-Trafficking industry.
