I don’t know about you all, but for me, the past 18 months hasn’t always been easy. In fact, it’s often been a stressful time with school, work, quarantine, lockdown and just day-to-day life during a pandemic. We’ve dealt with some big issues emotionally in our family (frustration, nervousness, worry, anger, etc.) and we’ve given out a lot of grace to each other the past year and a half. At times like this, and truly at all times, talking about mental health and emotions as a family is so important to the emotional development of our children.
