How to teach our kids to become mentally strong with Amy Morin

Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode, we’re joined by Amy Morin, psychologist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do. Today we focus on how we as parents can be mentally strong. Being a parent is really hard, and sometimes we can set ourselves up for success by realizing things we are and aren’t doing. Amy has a great way of putting things into perspective & she makes working on ourselves seem possible. We talk a lot about how we were raised in households where emotions other than happiness were not allowed to be expressed … if this sounds like you, tune in to understand what this means about your parenting style. Amy gives us actionable ways to talk to our kids about their emotions, mistakes and failures depending on their developmental stage. We also chat about how the pandemic has impacted our children and what it means for the future.Not only has Amy written books for people, parents and women - she also wrote a children’s book about things they CAN do to be strong.Take a look at what Amy is doing here:Very Well MindThe letter that started it all: https://amymorinlcsw.com/mentally-strong-people/Read her books here: https://amymorinlcsw.com/books/Support the showJoin the Reflective Parent Book Club for only $9.99 for the year: https://reflectiveparentclub.circle.so/checkout/reflective-parenting-book-clubWatch my Tedx Talk on YouTube called The Over-Educated, Emotionally Underprepared Parent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDYJFY_9K9E&t=19sGrab my course for $99, The Emotionally Aware Parent: https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Doors open to join the next 8-week training (Starts Oct 12th) here https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/
