called out as special privileges that required individual doctoring, and so we have simplified that. the division of cardiology has simplified that and lumped those that are more considered to be core cardiology privileges into the core section and only are falling out four special privileges which require individual proctoring as opposed to proctoring for a general type of procedure. are there any questions about the cardiology privileges? >> dr. horton, i think my only question, and it's actually my
5:31 am
ignorance is the prerequisites, is that -- these are the specialty boards from abim and not -- not the primary board, then, is that right, that we're asking for? >> it's the specialty boards for interventional cardiology. is that your question? >> yes. as the thing for specialty board for cardiovascular disease, which is different from just getting a regular abim, right? >> right. that's my understanding is specifically, it's the interventional cardiology board. >> right, right. no, that's what i was trying to clarify. >> right. >> because if i remember now, they have a number of different specialties which are added boards, right, on top of the regular boards. >> yes. >> yes, thank you. i have no problem. move for acceptance. >> there's no one on the public comment line for this item.

5:34 am
5:35 am
>> announcer: you're watching "coping with covid-19." >> hi, i'm chris manus and a you are watching "coping with covid-19." today joining us is susan girardeau of the california pacific medical center. and mow to cope with emotional stress of a major daf. she's here today to talk to us about how to help young children cope with this ongoing pandemic. dr. girardeau, welcome to the show. >> thank you very much. >> let's start by talking about some of the issues that 5 to 11-year-olds might be facing. what are some difficultties they might be experiencing during this pandemic? >> the biggest difficulties that all children experience is
5:36 am
fear and anxiety and it's displayed in a variety of different ways. the kids have a fear of a family member getting sick or themselves getting sick. they have a fear of separation. obviously with our quarantine, all of us at home, children still have a fear of separation in own home, which means from room to room, that they cannot be home alone without a parent. it is very difficult and even at night to sleep in their own bed can be a problem and an issue that is under the umbrella of anxiety. the other parts that play into it is the anxiety of when will this end?
5:37 am
as we know currently, we don't know and that is the most difficult. and all kids, their peers, are an important part of their development. so it is often asking when can i go to school? at this point, they are very tired of online school. when can i take my friends and when can i see extended family? >> right. what kind of indicators are there that a young child is struggling right now? >> particularly behaviors that are really across the age spectrum of 5 to adolescence is sleep disturbances and increase in nightmares and in the younger kids, night terrors. woe see across the age speck trup, fear of the dark. the other behaviors that we are
5:38 am
seeing is the regression in their normal developmenttal tasks. for the younger child and as i referenced sleeping in their own room. other types of behaviors that parents or caregivers might see are meltdowns over relatively minor issues. often we're seeing a decrease attention and focus, especially with online school. we're also seeing headaches, stomach aches that we typically see when there is stress and trauma. >> i see. let's say we've realize add child is having difficulties. are there specific ways we can talk to them to get them to open up, perhaps phrases or ways to ask questions that will encourage them to share their concerns? >> there are a number of ways. number one, the biggest thing that parents can do is to really listen to their child.
5:39 am
often times we're rushed. we are working parents, plus as well as now teachers online as well as playmates. so, to pause and really listen to what their fears are. as parents, we often don't get down to a younger child's physical level, look at them and listen to them and talk to them directly. i often use the technique of nailing a feeling and kids often times -- they're not going to, especially in times of stress, come up with this feeling that they can name. so, i recommend to parents always of naming three feelings. happy, sad and mad. and you've been through those three. not frustration. but just nailing it to those three.
5:40 am
another technique that i highly recommend is to use the third person. in a way such as i have heard other kids say that they're scared and they don't know why they're scared. do you think that happens with you sometimes? this is a way that kids feel much safer in talking about their feelings because they don't feel like they're on the spot, but other kids are feeling that same way. >> i understand. do you think that there is secondary concerns for kids as concerns are gradually lifted? i know one small child frightened to go outside right now. >> yes. and we're seeing that already right now. because with -- as one -- as restrictions are lifted and we're able to go outside, you know, people are wearing masks
5:41 am
and that can be very frightening. even if halloween. many kids won't wear a mask. children under 2 do not wear masks. under 7, they don't have to. but over the age of 7, it is highly recommended by the c.d.c. that kids wear masks. that is going to be difficult. so, what i've recommended is for kids to make their own masks. they can make their own designs on the paper surgical masks. and so it is there. they can't put [inaudible] on it, whatever makes it feel a lot safer for them. other things that i have heard are kids are afraid to go outside. i heard this from a number of families because they haven't really been able to do so so they're afraid they will get sick. i recommend that families start very small steps and the first
5:42 am
step is take a ride in the car. that is the first way to go outside, windows down. and if you have a sunroof, open the sunroof and unbuckle the seat belts or car seat and be able to stand up and that is a small step to feel like the outside might be safe. so, it has to be in small steps for the fear it is going to be exacerbated. >> absolutely. so, could you tell me a little bit about your book, disaster shock? >> yes, "disaster shock" has been originally written for the 1989 earthquake in san francisco. this has been a number of disasters since then and families in 1989 gave us the feedback that it was extremely helpful because there was really no literature available
5:43 am
on how to help children and families that haven't talked to them. unfortunately our natural disasters increased with tornadoes and the last wildfires affecting northern california. it has been updated again for the pandemic. >> right. and finally, what would you say to parents about how to talk to their kids in general? could you suggest some good ways to re-assure them? >> a few ways that i have been suggesting is, number one, you have to be honest. about what you know. and be able to explain in developmentally appropriate terms what is happening. and that we are all learning. we don't know. there are many things we don't know. but that parents need re-assure the kids that they are safe, that the family will be together. but they need to be able to get
5:44 am
the kids a little leeway, so to speak. and i'm not saying not disciplined, but what your discipline techniques may have been before may need to lighten up a little bit because these are very unusual circumstances for adults, but as well as for kids. but i always suggest and recommend that parents be honest with the kids because that is the trust that children have in their parents. parents must be really aware their kids will hear, they will read their body language and understand the anxiety we all feel, but the parents need to be honest that they -- the kids will be safe. >> i understand. well, thanks for coming on the show, dr. girardeau. i appreciate the time you've given us today. thanks again. >> you're welcome. >> and that is it for this episode. we'll be back with more
