Raising Children in 2020

A Year of Crisis, Unrest and Trauma

At the Child Mind Institute, we recognize that parents need tools and support to help their children navigate the challenges of 2020. Recently, we hosted a three-part seminar series for our donor community on discussing race and racism with children, teenagers and risk-taking during reopening, and managing increased anxiety. The webinars feature ABC News correspondent Deborah Roberts, MSNBC news anchor Stephanie Ruhle and senior editor at The Atlantic Kate Julian alongside Child Mind Institute’s expert clinicians and are available to stream below.

Discussing Race and Racism with Your Children

Award-winning ABC News Correspondent Deborah Roberts moderates a discussion between Drs. Kenya Hameed and Jamie Howard. The group offer actionable advice on how families from every background can address race, racism, protest and violence with their children, from starting conversations about race early in a child’s life, to using books and toys to normalize racial differences and support education.

Children and families need the Child Mind Institute, and we need your support.

Teenagers: Risk-Taking During Reopening

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle hosts a discussion between Dr. Harold Koplewicz and Student Success Program Social Worker Kathryn Lige. The panelists outline the adolescent brain’s propensity for risk-taking and impulsivity and how those behaviors converge with the coronavirus, social isolation, and the gradual reopening of society, and how parents can empathize with their children while promoting safety.

Anxiety During Reopening: Yours and Your Kids’

Kate Julian, senior editor at The Atlantic, leads a conversation between Drs. David Anderson and Stephanie A. Lee on the rising anxiety faced by children and families due to the coronavirus and civil unrest. The group discuss signs and symptoms that parents can look out for in their children, how children’s anxiety may present in unexpected ways and tips for processing uncertainty and challenge.

Child Mind Institute’s evidence-based, timely resources are made possible by the generosity of individuals who share our vision for a world where every child with a mental health or learning disorder gets the support they need to thrive.
