Aim for 'good enough' instead of perfection in lockdown (David Abrahamsohn)

--:--
How do you explain this challenging time to your children? How do you respond to "I want to go to school, play with my friends, or where's my Grandpa?" How do you deal with their anxiety, fears and sadness?
How do you keep your children occupied under lockdown?
What do you do about your own feelings that spill out and are contagious?
How do you talk so kids will listen, and listen so they will talk?
Please join 'DrD' and her guest clinical child psychologist David Abrahamsohn* as they discuss lockdown with your children.

*David Abrahamsohn is a Clinical Psychologist who has been in private practise for the past 20 years. He specialises in parenting, child therapy and adolescent therapy.
