Helping Kids Cope in Difficult Times

A therapist’s tips to manage big emotions and hard challenges

I love this quote from Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, especially right now.

What we and our kids do with big emotions can have more of an impact on our lives than feeling the emotions themselves.

In this episode, Robin Brannan, founder of Better Together Family Therapy, shares tips to help kids cope in difficult times.

You just might find that many of these tips helpful for yourself, too!
