It's difficult enough for adults to understand traumatic events, but how do you explain the news to children? When psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz joined me on this special episode of Mondays With Marlo, she advised that, even though they might have heard the news from another source, that you sit down with your kids and give them the facts. Let your kids ask you questions, and be honest in your answers, but spare them the grisly details.
During times of stress and trauma, we often feel scared and anxious. Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz shared three ways to manage these feelings on this special episode of Mondays With Marlo. First, express your feelings to people you feel comfortable with -- don't keep feelings bottled up. Take care of yourself physically. Relieve tension through exercise, get enough sleep and avoid substances like caffeine and alcohol. Finally, avoid non-stop media coverage, especially at night.
