Raising children during a full-scale war is an incredible challenge. Constant stress and anxiety can make it difficult for kids to regulate their emotions and behavior. The Charity Fund "Direct Inclusion" offers effective strategies for fostering compassionate interactions with young children.

Research published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics highlights that a chaotic and inconsistent rest schedule negatively affects a child’s ability to manage their behavior in stressful situations or social interactions with adults and peers.

Experts recommend that parents respond to their child’s needs with warmth and calmness from an early age while maintaining clear and consistent rules. A structured daily routine and regular sleep schedule are critical in building strong, healthy relationships between children and their caregivers.
