We all want our kids to be happy and healthy. So, host Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes brings guest therapist Jenna Watson to give some super helpful tips to lessen the anxiety from worrying too hard about your kid’s well-being.
First things first: don’t hesitate to get help if you’re worried.
Talking to your pediatrician or a mental health professional is never a bad idea. They can figure out what’s going on and help your child feel better.
Secondly, start talking about feelings early and often.
Even little kids can chat about their day – the good, the bad, and the frustrating. This helps them understand their emotions and feel comfortable talking to you about anything.
And finally, help your child build resilience.
This means learning from mistakes and challenges, not avoiding them. It’s like building a muscle; the more they use it, the stronger it gets.
Remember, we’re all in this together. Supporting our kids’ mental health is a team effort. So, let’s keep talking, listening, and helping them grow into strong, resilient individuals.
