Hawn spoke of the rise in suicide attempts by children as cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Kids are afraid of people, spaces, even the air around them – a level of constant fear not seen in decades.” “The COVID era has changed our children’s lives in far more real, tangible ways - social distancing, school closures, daily mask use,” she continued. She asserted that COVID has robbed both adults and children of critical “support structures that all humans depend on for perspective, encouragement, and love.” She also referenced the children who witnessed the Twin Towers collapsing on Sept.
The “Overboard” actress compared the trauma experienced by children during the pandemic to the Challenger space shuttle disaster that happened live on TV on Jan. We can’t even mention the word covid in front of my 6 year old granddaughter, as she is now so nervous and asks are we going to die? Its terrible.
Tommy Lightfoot Garrett January 27, 2022 I can't imagine how Children feel about this pandemic and how it is affecting their lives. We've failed them as a nation." ~ Goldie Hawn. "Covid Trauma is hurting a generation of kids. “A child’s mind exposed to real-world fear, without the ability to properly process it, can go down dark passages leading to nothing less than existential dread.” But there’s a flip side to the joyful creativity that can turn a big cardboard box into a spaceship,” she explained. “We all know how magical a child’s imagination can be – the wonderful worlds they create in their minds. “This was a specific trauma that affected me, but it was a collective trauma, too – an entire generation of American children was, in some form or another, taught to think of nuclear holocaust as a real threat.” “Even in high school, I’d hear a siren in the morning and be too terrified to go to school that day,” Hawn wrote about that period in her life.
