Join us for an insightful and compassionate episode of Wellness for All Ages with host Edna White as she welcomes Dan Granger, special education teacher and author of the children's book Why is Sam So SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder and Depression from a Child's Perspective. In this episode, Dan shares essential guidance for parents, teachers, and caregivers on recognizing and supporting children affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Dan discusses what SAD feels like for young people, how parents and teachers can spot the signs, and what can be done to treat and support children experiencing seasonal depression.


Dan also explores how to help kids understand and express gratitude, even during difficult times, and shares how his own journey with SAD inspired him to become an advocate for mental health in education. Tune in as Edna and Dan delve into how Covid uniquely impacted those dealing with SAD and why understanding children’s mental health has never been more important.
