Episode #233 - Encouraging Foster & Adoptive Parents During Covid-19 with Sandra Flach

Limbo is not an easy place to live, especially for a child with a trauma history. But limbo is exactly where we find ourselves during this season of Covid-19. For foster and adoptive families—limbo is a stressful road to navigate.

 

We find ourselves in a world where nothing seems predictable or stable. For children who’ve experienced trauma, these insecurities can cause them to become anxious and hyper-vigilant. Stress increases cortisol levels in the brain which puts our kids on high alert and triggers their fight-flight-freeze responses.

 

How can stressed-out parents help their stressed-out children? 

Host, Sandra Flach, discusses practical parenting strategies and shares inspirational stories to encourage and equip our listeners through the stressors brought on by Covid-19.
