I had a fantastic opportunity yesterday to sit down for a chat with Jessica Joelle Alexander, author of the popular book The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids.
Jessica lives with her husband and two kids in Italy, a country that is very hard hit by the Coronavirus pandemic and has been in official lockdown for over 2 weeks now.
In this conversation Jessica and I talk about:
- how things changed in Italy during the past 3-4 weeks
- how to set routines for kids during school closures
- how to talk about quarantine to little kids
- how to help teens and young adults grasp the gravity of the situation
- how we parents can deal with anxiety
- how to look for silver linings
- and so, so much more!
I hope you find as much value in this chat as I did!
