You Are Not Your Mother Episode 3

This year has been traumatic for ourselves and our kids but there are things we can do to help our children grow through it. I sit down to talk with Dr. Amy Marschall of ResiliencyMentalHealth.com to talk about parenting beyond the pandemic. Amy has a lot to share including:  @4:19 Tips to help kids express big feelings appropriately without stepping on those feelings @13:18 Why you want your kids to be a challenge @14:13 How to tell that you're doing a good job helping your child with emotional regulation @18:35 A new way to look at it when your child says "I hate you" @22:49 The way that emotional literacy develops in kids @25:58 Why you should look for teaching moments instead of punishing moments We also talk about how to know if your child needs counseling and how to find a counselor that you BOTH like.

This is not a list of things you’re doing wrong. This is not a bunch of one size fits all parenting advice. This is a place to remember what you already know. (And to learn some new stuff along the way.) Each session is approximately 30 minutes. I help us get grounded; share resources, inspiration, and information; and then using thoughtful prompts we journal together to move you forward in your understanding. It also includes access to our own private community. You can sign up for a free sample practice at my site: OpenBookParenting.com
