Helping children when and where they need it most

When children have medical conditions, monitoring their physical health and managing their treatment are top priorities for parents. However, they may also need support for emotional issues. Kids are wonderfully resilient. But whether they’re living with an ongoing challenge like food allergies or asthma, or they’re in treatment for an illness like cancer, a medical condition can trigger anxiety, depression or behavior problems.

This week on childmind.org ([link removed]) we explore how families can support children emotionally when they’re dealing with chronic illness ([link removed]). Our experts stress the importance of maintaining normal routines and expectations, and being open (in an age-appropriate way) about the illness. And they note that dealing with your own challenging feelings is crucial ([link removed]), since kids pick up on their parents’ fear and anxiety.
