For a lot of kids, this has been a time of disappointments, sadness, and frankly, loss. HansaBhargavaMD shares how parents can help kids grieve what COVID-19 has taken from them:
My friend’s daughter is a senior in high school. After finding out that school will be cancelled for the rest of the year, she was in tears, upset about all that she will miss: spring break, prom, and those bittersweet last days at school saying goodbye to friends and teachers and signing yearbooks. Even her high school graduation is cancelled. She is devastated.
These types of losses can cause kids to go through feelings similar to the stages of grief. First there is denial of the reality of the situation and hope that this will go away. Then there is anger and frustration, which many kids may be feeling right now. And then there can be sadness, and even depression.
But, what if, in this case, being a good parent means allowing our kids to experience the loss and go through the pain? What if this experience will help them become stronger and more resilient, more open and flexible to change?
