“Tatay, Nanay, Paano ka Mag-Aruga?” : Positive Parenting Today

While the COVID-19 pandemic has been declared by WHO as “over”, the emotional and behavioral challenges may be here with us to stay for some time. Childhood and adolescence are periods of great emotional vulnerability even under “normal circumstances”. When COVID-19 hit, disruption was intense and acute at the level of the household, impacting negatively on family life. The impact of lockdowns, sickness, and even death could lead to post-traumatic stress and create long drawn conditions of stress and anxiety that still impact on youth and children.

Parents have had to juggle their time between work and helping their children do school work at home. This proved to be particularly difficult for families without the space or means to learn online. At the same time, parents are expected to be a stabilizing force in the family despite the hardships and stressors in their environment. To this day, parents continue new challenges in supporting their children’s mental wellbeing, as well as becoming particularly at risk for experiencing mental health difficulties themselves.

In this episode of STOP COVID DEATHS entitled : “Tatay, Nanay, Paano ka Mag-Aruga?”: Positive Parenting Today, we take a closer look at parenting in a world where children experience extreme stress while services for psychosocial care are scarce. Our main presenter is Dr. Stella Guerrero-Manalo, who is the head of the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics of the PGH Department of Pediatrics. Our reactor is Dr. Marissa Lukban, who is the chair of the PGH Department of Pediatrics. Finally, the Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose, who is the PGH Head of the Office of Expanded Education and Training.

Join us as we learn about positive parenting techniques and the necessary skills to help children improve on their mental health and well-being. Together, we can STOP C.O.V.I.D. DEATHS!
