00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about how financial stress impacts kids, what every parent

00:15should know. If you're stressed about money, job security, or rising prices, it's not just you who

00:20feels it, your kids do, too. When you're juggling part-time jobs or worried about being laid off,

00:25it's hard to stay calm and emotionally present for your children. And even if you're unemployed and

00:30stuck at home, the frustration of stalled dreams and financial pressure can affect your mood and

00:34your family. Kids notice more than we think. It's not just about food on the table, they see the

00:40difference when sports, hobbies, or even a new pair of sneakers suddenly aren't affordable.

00:44What might seem small to an adult can feel like a big loss to a child, making their world feel less

00:49stable. Interestingly, some kids actually say their parents are more present when work slows down,

00:54less rushing, more time together. But ideally, families shouldn't have to face economic hardship

00:59to feel connected. So what can be done? 1. Check in with kids. During downturns, teachers, coaches,

01:06and community leaders can play a big role when parents are overwhelmed. 2. Build community spaces.

01:11During the good times, parks and free programs give families places to bond no matter the economy.

01:173. Offer support to keep routines steady. Help kids stay in sports or with their friends even if

01:22their family's income drops. Economic stress is tough, but with the right support, we can help

01:27families stay strong and help kids keep their sense of security.
