As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and we are approaching another school year, you may be wondering how to best help your child navigate the unknowns. Join us for a panel discussion with the Create Outcomes team as we explore the current anxieties and fears children are struggling with, how this manifests in behaviors, and specific strategies to help you support your child.

Distractibility and inattention in children can be misunderstood and commonly attributed to ADHD. This symptom can often signal so much more! Our panelists will discuss the variety of causes that lead to inattention, such as ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and medical issues.

Parents will walk away wit an understanding of when distractibility is ag appropriate, when to seek further evaluation, and determine the next steps to support your child or teen.

Recommended for parents of children ages 5-18.

The past few years have challenged us collectively as a society between a pandemic, racial and political injustice, and now a war in Ukraine. Due to more accessibility to the news and social media the amount of information and frequency of exposure to these upsetting events have increased for our youth. This can leave many parents at a loss of how to talk about this information with their kids.

Our panelists discuss the impact of upsetting events on children and teen’s emotional well-being and provide a framework of how to approach these conversations with your child.
