We experienced a strong 6.9 magnitude earthquake at 9:59pm last night. Earthquakes can be very frightening for everyone—adults, children, and teens alike. The sudden shaking and uncertainty can leave us feeling anxious or unsettled long after the event. As parents and caregivers, the way we respond to our children helps them feel safe, secure, and supported.

Here are some ways to support children and teens after an earthquake:
🤲 Offer comfort and presence. Hugs, closeness, or simply being nearby help children feel secure. For teens, your calm presence—listening without judgment—can be just as reassuring.
💬 Acknowledge feelings. It’s normal to feel afraid or shaken. Simple statements like, “That was scary, and we’re safe now,” validate emotions for children. With teens, encourage open conversations and let them share worries in their own words.
✨ Provide reassurance. Remind them that you’re taking steps to keep the family safe and that emergency plans are in place.
🕰️ Keep routines. Consistent mealtimes, bedtime, and daily rituals restore a sense of normalcy for children. For teens, encourage them to continue school, hobbies, and social connections where possible.
🎨 Encourage healthy expression. Younger children often process emotions through play, drawing, or storytelling. Teens may prefer journaling, music, or safe conversations with adults and peers.
🌟 Highlight strengths. Focus on family strengths—how everyone stayed together, followed safety drills, or supported one another. This builds resilience and confidence.
📺 Limit news exposure. Too much media coverage can heighten fears for both children and teens. Share brief, honest, and age-appropriate information.
🏫 Reinforce safety practices. Review and practice earthquake safety drills at home. Both children and teens feel more empowered when they know what to do.
👂 Keep communication open. Invite questions, listen with patience, and remind them that their feelings matter. Sometimes just being heard is enough.

Children and teens recover best when they feel connected, understood, and reassured. By offering calm, consistent support, you help them not only cope—but also grow stronger through the experience. -AngieFernandez-

Drug abuse and addiction are not just social problems — they are mental health concerns that affect real lives.

Join us this September 12, 2025 at Tagbilaran City Hall Atrium for a powerful forum with Dr. Glenn Glarino as our guest speaker.

Learn. Reflect. Be part of the change. Together, we can break the stigma and build a healthier tomorrow.

One conversation can save a life. Ask, listen, and remind someone they're not alone. Help and healing are always possible.
