Sandy

11/2/2012

0 Comments

 
The storm is over, but the impacts of this storm continue to affect a large number of people on the east coast. With many people still without power, some without homes, and others grieving the loss of loved ones, this is a challenging time for families.  Maslow tells us to meet safety and physiological needs first. Once those needs are met, then you can meet the emotional needs. 

This storm has caused a lot of anxiety, anger and grief in both adults and children. If you have experienced the impacts of Sandy (whether you were present for the storm or whether you know people impacted by the storm), your child may become more fearful, clingy or anxious. You may also notice changes in your child's behavior such as regression, trouble sleeping, and acting out.  

If you or someone you know has been impacted by Sandy and you have concerns about your child's behavior or questions about how to talk to your child about the storm and its impacts, please contact me for a free telephone or skype session to discuss ways to help you and your family address these concerns and navigate this difficult time.
