How do we deal with the war in Israel as a family? Meeting for parents of adolescents (11-17)
As the war broke out, in the first few days we were all in a state of shock.
The news developed from minute to minute and we were all glued to the screen. Our minds did not allow us to leave the news. It all happened so fast…
Then began the pictures, videos and horrors we were exposed to – a real Holocaust!!
Now I am in an ongoing trauma… A feeling of great sadness, helplessness, lack of energy and unwillingness to do something.
Some of us deal with trauma by freezing and not being able to do even simple tasks. Some are coping by fighting the situation and choose to go to demonstrations,
collect donations and more. And some who cope by (flight) simply prefer not to hear, not to know and to disconnect in order to preserve their psyche.
Everyone copes differently and sometimes the same person on different days will cope differently.
And during all these emotional challenges, we raise our children and try to maintain a front of some kind of routine.
Parents of teenage children go through a different experience than parents of young children, adolescents know more, hear more and also have to deal in schools
with opinions that differ from us – our ability to protect them is small…
What should parents of adolescents do during this period with their children? How can we create lure communication?
The lecture will be given by Yael Omer – for the past 23 years a parent educator, behavior analyst, master’s degree in special
education, and an expert in attention deficit disorder and sensory regulation. Owner of the International Parenting School.
The event will be held in Hebrew.
