CBC Radio: Halloween and Children

Halloween make-believe lets children explore their creativity and identity in a safe, non-judgmental way, according to New York-based clinical psychologist
Dr. Asa Don Brown.

“It can really be significant, from a psychological standpoint, [in] providing a little insight into who we are,” he explained.

How are you celebrating Halloween this year?

Bravo, Professor Sydney Engelberg

Bravo, Professor Sydney Engelberg!
As a professor, I have always encouraged my students to bring their children. I have also been known to bring my own children to the classroom. It’s especially beneficial in programs such as nursing, early childhood educators, psychology, mental health programs, etc.
