Supporting Women Experiencing Postpartum Depression

Robin Polanski Morrison is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her #ChildrensBook "The Good Morning Book." Robyn explains that her book aims to provide a soft start to the day, encouraging children (and people of all ages) to take a deep breath, be mindful, and set positive intentions for the day. Robyn also shares about her personal experience with postpartum depression, which played a role in the creation of the book. She explains how reading to her child during that challenging time became a helpful coping mechanism. It is believed that postpartum depression effects one in ten women in the United States. Robyn tells us some of the ways friends and family can provide support to new moms, such as offering specific help, asking about their well-being, and understanding the challenges they may face.
