Helping Kids Thrive Mentally and Emotionally: A Guide for Parents
Parenting a child is an endless job: our kids count on us to help them learn to do everything from read and write to ride a bike. With so many responsibilities, even the most dedicated parents can lose sight of the role they play in teaching and modeling something that lasts a lifetime: managing our mental health.
So what should parents know about raising mentally healthy children? How can they help their kids learn to manage stress, adapt to change, and build self-confidence? And why is it so important to set examples for a child to follow?
In this highly practical session filled with takeaways, Jacqueline Sperling, PhD, breaks down the critical skills kids need to build strong mental health, provides concrete strategies parents can use to nurture those abilities, and shares tips for modeling emotional well-being.
