Talking With Kids About All Kinds of Challenges – 2020

Do you struggle sometimes with how to talk to your kids about their complex issues? Or maybe about what’s going on in the world these days? Do you wish you had just the right thing to say to comfort or guide them? In this conversation with leading developmental pediatrician Mark Bertin, we talk about the art of having difficult conversations of all kinds with your complex children and teens. We will talk about mindfulness, when to address critical issues (and when to wait), raising kids’ self-awareness, and more. Learn about your role as a parent in helping kids grow to become their own medical managers over time.
