Ep. 131: Helping Kids Navigate 2021’s Challenges

Published: May 19, 2021, 1 p.m.

Chaos, stress, & uncertainty provide opportunities for teaching moments. For anyone trying to raise children this year is especially abundant with those opportunities. Lucky you, parents.

Fear not! The Windy City Nanny, Florence Ann Romano, can help us figure out how to talk to our kids about absolutely anything. A professional nanny, childcare advocate, & author, she’s speaking from over fifteen years of experience.

The first step is getting our kids to just open up. They should never feel like they can’t come to you. But that doesn’t mean you must have all the answers. It truly does take a village to raise a child, so feel free to ask for help from others in your tribe.

For those especially polarizing topics of conversation, Florence Ann suggests teaching children to research & be objective. Acknowledge that education is power & sometimes we just have to agree to disagree. Children do have the capacity to understand kindness, tolerance, & the value of keeping an open mind & heart.

A parent is their children’s first & lifelong teacher. So make this shift to a communication comfort zone with them!
