Publisher's Synopsis
In both my professional and personal life, I have never seen the level of anxiety, depression, and fear among children as I see now, as we emerge from COVID-19. I don't think we have any true understanding of what the actual cost has been for our children, and I think it will become more apparent as the years unfold and we see the effects.
Children have a limited understanding and immature cognitive processes that have been further hampered by the restrictive circumstances we have all found ourselves in.
Stressors because of a change in circumstances is just the beginning. There have been significant psychological and neurobiological effects because of these conditions.
The SILENT Pandemic After COVID-19 explores the latest research studies, and couples that with Diana's 30 years of experience in early childhood development and nearly 20 years in sound therapy. Her unique perspective will break down the complex issues into language parents, caregivers and educators of children can understand so you will have a better understanding of why children are suffering and what you can do about it.
You will learn:
- What has been the cost of COVID to you and your family?
- Why children have suffered and why their suffering will continue long past the pandemic
- The psychological and neurobiological factors that occurred, and are now having an enormous impact on behavior
- Why executive functions have been restricted and what you can do to help your child
- What is our greatest toxic threat?
- The auditory system and why this has been challenged during COVID
- Other key child development issues presenting because of the pandemic
- Anxiety and depression symptoms to look out for in your child
- Strategies and activities both parents and educators can use without special equipment to help children with these difficulties
Those first responders in the frontlines were heroes at the height of the pandemic. Now parents and educators get to be the heroes of their own story as they help guide their children back to a place of tranquility and calm.
