Processing the Impact of the Pandemic on Young Children and Ourselves

Tracy Schreifels,  Executive Director of Ellison Center in St. Cloud, MN joins us for an important conversation centered around the pandemic and what it was like for young children and their families.  We discuss some key questions that can help us to begin to process the impact. What are our bodies holding related to this trauma?  How do we process and name our experiences so we can start to heal?  How do we help young children organize their experiences and move forward?

The Impact of the Pandemic: Part 2

Join us as we continue our conversation with Tracy Schreifels, MS, LMFT, IMH-E®, the Executive Director of the Ellison Center.  She helps us understand what the research is showing about young children and their development following a global pandemic. Our “tried and true” approaches from the past may not be successful.  We discuss strategies that can support children as they build key foundations for later development and help early educators and families provide important routines and connections to build skills.
