12 February at 18:00 For adults, this may seem trivial, but for a kid, it’s a whole world suddenly falling apart.
Phrases like “It’s not for real” or “You’ll find love a hundred times over” are often spoken with good intentions, but they can devalue and leave the child alone with the pain.
We invite parents and caregivers, psychologists and educators to a webinar “True Love: How to Support Your Children in Their First Feelings”.

Host: Svitlana Poberezhnyk, child psychologist, psychotherapist, specialist in parent-child relationships, trainer, and author of educational programmes for parents and professionals
We will discuss the following:
-why devaluing one’s feelings can intensify pain;
-how to talk to your kid about liking someone, falling in love, and disappointment without moralising or giving instructions;
-what to do when your kid is hurting and you don’t know how to help;
-where is the line between giving support and imposing your own decisions;
-how adults can cope with their kids’ emotions and their own powerlessness.
This webinar is about sensitivity, contact and trust. It is about how to be there for your kids when they are emotionally struggling – even if you cannot “fix everything”.
The event is part of UNICEF’s Hugs For You project, financed by the European Union.
