EP 42 - How to Protect Your Child’s Mental Health in the Long Term

Today’s Headline :  Covid poses 'greatest threat to mental health since the  second world war' UK’s leading psychiatrist predicts the impact will be felt for years after the pandemic ends (Source Guardian : 28th December 2020)   So, Christmas is done and dusted and the New Year is just around the corner - this headline doesn’t really make for cheery reading.   I have read articles and papers listing statistics and the forecasts in how the Coronavirus is going to affect us all :   As many as 10 million people, including 1.5 million children, are thought to need new or additional mental health support as a direct result of the crisis.   But very few people are offering us solutions. So I want to change that for you. I am offering a number of tools and exercises that will help support YOU and your family.   * Regain some Balance in your life :    Here is the Grounding Exercise that I mentioned : When your head is a spin and you are lost at sea - this exercise might hope you feel a bit more “balanced” :  📍https://www.caigraham.com/grounding/   * Download this Stress-Buster :    When you are feeling stressed and under pressure - this exercise is a great antidote to the pressures and challenges you are facing. It will help you calm down a bit :  📍 www.caigraham.com/stress   * Breathing Through BIG Emotions :    Here is the Breath-work Online Course that I discussed - and for a limited time you can save £100. 📍 www.caigraham.com/breathe This course offers you tools to combat : * Overwhelm * Stress * Anxieties * Tension   This course is now discounted for the month of January 2021 : Use the discount code : JANUARYSALE   If you are looking for support at a deeper level for your child, then please book a call with me. Invariably they might only need a couple of sessions. But if we can give our kids the tools to improve their emotional wellbeing NOW - then you’re more likely to alleviate the longer term damage to their mental health. 📍 www.caigraham.com/teencall   ~~~~~   * Three Questions to Ask Your Uncommunicative Child :   All too often parents say to me :   “My child won’t speak to me” or “I know something’s not quite right - but they won’t tell me what’s wrong.”Well, I have a resource for you.
