Elaina Jones interview

How is it lately being stuck with your kids 24/7? For some, the current living situation might be very difficult and also have a significant impact on family dynamics. In this episode of Raising Successful Kids Podcast, Irene talks to Elaina Jones about how parents and children can cope together during this very worrying and stressful period. Irene also reminds us that it’s important to keep a check on our mental health and maintain healthy relationships. Tune in as she gives you tips on how you can survive all of this as well as annihilate the stigma of mental health. KEY TAKEAWAYS How can parents and kids cope together during the coronavirus quarantine? If you’re anxious about the pandemic and the new living situation, learn how to work out your feelings and communicate it to your kids. Treat them as important as anyone in the family. Don’t coddle them. Respect their input, so they’ll listen to you. Schedule family activities. This can help beat the cabin fever. Or let them volunteer to do some chores in the house. This way they also learn about responsibility. Social media has its pros and cons. For some, this is where they get news updates. Elaina Jones advises choosing what and who you see on your news feed or timeline. If someone makes you feel bad about yourself, think twice. Maybe it’s time to cut them off. You’ll find the right people (the ones who help you grow) soon. Attend a therapy with your family. When we’ve exhausted every way to reach out, and nothing’s still working out, then maybe it’s time to consider an intervention. Openly communicating thoughts and sentiments among family members is always possible. What are the traits of successful people? Happiness and wellness. When people are happy with what they’re doing, they try to step out of the confined box and take on fresh adventures. They’re aware of their failures and they’re unafraid to face and get through them. BEST MOMENTS “The things that make us comfortable, look at them if they’re making situations worse.” “It takes courage to say, ‘I will not fall for it.’” “Find your people. Find your tribe. Find those who you truly feel good about yourself.” “Kids know when you talk them down.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Listen to the Raising Successful Kids Podcast on Apple Podcasts: Listen to the Cope Queens Podcast on Apple Podcasts: Listen to the Cope Queens Podcast on Spotify: ABOUT THE GUEST Elaina Jones is the host of Cope Queens Podcast, which is on a mission to annihilate the stigma of mental health.
