The seemingly endless winter isn’t just taking a toll on adults. An expert says it can cause serious problems for kids.
Catalpa Mental Health therapist Maria Vercimak believes the unpredictability can cause anxiety. She says that’s especially true for children with special needs, because they like a set structure.
She thinks one way to help children is to stay in the moment, and focus on where you are as a family.
Vercimak thinks parents should reach out to a therapist, if they see a drastic change in their child’s behavior or irritability.
