Episode #3.10

Summary We all know how stress can build up: things aren't great at home, finances are tight, health's a bit of a problem, your boss is giving you a hard time or maybe one of your colleagues has been pushing you around. The usual symptoms - for your kids. Believe it or not, home life, money, health and school are the major sources of stress for kids. Kids have stress, you say! Sure they do. We just haven't been paying enough attention. For this feature report, we consult Dr. Sandra Mendlowitz, Psychologist at the Hospital for Sick Children and Claire McDerment the Co-chair, "Kids Have Stress Too" Program and get the real story from a very busy, and often stressed out, family. Kids aren't easily embarrassed, right? WRONG. Most of us have memories of cringing when our parents tried to be 'hip', and tried to relate to us on some other level than simply as goofy adults. Dad Alex Sopinka shows us some of the ways in which he manages to embarrass 4-year-old Zoe in his never-ending quest to be 'cool'. Every young child experiences fears and in this "How To", Dr. Lawrence Kutner, Clinical Psychologist at Harvard Medical School offers some creative suggestions for parents on how they can make that monster under the bed disappear. Kognaasowin is an Ojibway word meaning 'Raising our Children in a Healthy Way". Steve Teekens and Melissa McNeil were adults when they learned to be proud of their native heritage. Now, these busy two-career parents teach their young children to embrace their traditions and never be ashamed. For this week's Video Diary, we gave a camera to Steve and Melissa who share with us a rich past, a busy present and a hopeful future.
