Now that schools across our region are shut down to help slow the spread of COVID-19, local experts say now is the time to have a conversation with your kids. Talking with your children about the coronavirus and the changes we are all going through can help ease their fears. If you are not talking to your kids about COVID-19, someone else is. Misinformation about the virus is being spread online and on social media. Either way, your kid will get exposed to what's happening whether the facts are right or wrong.

The first step is to take responsibility for your actions and apologize. Next, be honest with your thoughts and feelings. Show that you're willing to change and be a better partner. Finally, set some boundaries to help prevent future hurt. Remember to be patient as it takes time to rebuild trust.
If you are having serious marriage problems, you may want to seek professional help. This can be in the form of marriage counseling or therapy. Therapy can also be helpful for couples dealing with marriage problems. This type of therapy is often called couple's therapy.
Individuality is crucial in an interdependent relationship as it allows each partner to maintain their sense of self, pursue personal interests, and contribute uniquely to the relationship.
Yes, trust can often be rebuilt if it is damaged in a relationship. This process may take some time and effort, but it is possible to regain trust.
Be open to trying new things and be spontaneous in your everyday life. Plan dates or activities that are out of the norm, even if they are simple. Keep things light and don't be afraid to be silly or playful.
It can be beneficial to reflect on what was discussed during sessions and try to implement any strategies or actions suggested by your therapist.
