Still Finding Out How People Are Impacted:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>An Interview\u00a0With Olivia Swedberg Yinger<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As a music therapist and parent of two children, Dr. Olivia Swedberg Yinger voices their concern for young children under five and their parents struggling with mental health issues being forgotten in the aftermath of the pandemic. They raise the question how humans\u2019 autonomy, competence, and relatedness have been impacted by the pandemic \u2013 answers we still need to find. In this podcast, they speak about the Neurosequential Model and its sequence of engagement (i.e., regulate, relate, reason), give musical and mindfulness suggestions for young children, and stress the importance of maintaining established routines. Honoring and validating children’s feelings and conveying the message that they are not alone, as well as parents\u2019 self-care, are key for a family\u2019s mental health. They hope that adults can see children as experts of their needs arising from their pandemic experiences.<\/p>\n<\/span>\n
