How Has 2020 Affected Your Kids.

You know it’s one thing to bear up against the challenges of this roller coaster year, but your children do not have the same context you have to deal with all of this. Had 2020 gone as planned, a day in the life of an average child would have meant actual classrooms, baseball games, middle-school plays, and birthday parties.

Time with other children is a crucial piece of growing up. Relationships with peers are how kids learn about cooperation, trust, and loyalty. Perhaps just as important is how they not just receive support from their parents, but also give it to others. How many life-lessons are more important than that?

As we move closer to the end of the year it may be an opportune time to call me and discuss your child’s behavior and coping mechanisms. While the experience will never be forgotten we can help to put things into perspective in the coming year. Please call me, New York area child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman and we will talk it over. My website is sussmankids.com and my phone number is (908) 217-8106.
