MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes.
This week on MD for Moms, I interview triple board certified psychiatrist Dr. Mina Hah, who specializes in child and adolescent psychiatry, adult and addiction psychiatry. Dr. Hah is a favorite guest and has been on MD for Moms twice before to discuss addiction in January of 2018, and marijuana, alcohol, plus CBD and anxiety in February 2019. Both shows were fabulous and worth taking a listen to. On this show, we focus on childhood and the many emotional experiences kids have to various situations, and the different signs a child may be suffering from a mental illness. We will also talk about ‘Adverse Childhood Events’ and how they can impact people through adulthood, and what parents can do to minimize the impact of these ACES when possible.
How should parents communicate with kids of various ages about tragedies such as mass shootings? In light of recent events, having these discussions with kids is important but also can lead to significant stress for all parties. How can we express our sadness and fears about what has happened without freaking our kids out? How can we help them understand risk and also teach them what to do in case of emergency without instilling undue anxiety? Dr. Hah explains all of this plus how to appropriately discuss current events with our children, and much more on this week’s MD for Moms.
