#12: The difference between your kid and a school shooter


Listen Later

If you're like most parents, you're subconsciously carrying around the fact that these are very intense times for our adolescent kids.


Many are hopeless, anxious, and depressed. In fact, we're facing a global mental health crisis in our youth, and there was one pre-pandemic as well.

So, this week in honor of suicide prevention month, I wanted to do some heavy lifting around the heavy topics of school shootings and suicide prevention. Here's the thing: One difference between your kid, a school shooter, and suicide is their mental health. I know these are hard truths to face, but my intention is to provide some relief in what you can do and how you can show up at home.

In this week's podcast, "The Difference Between Your Kid and a School Shooter" I share: Simple ways to boost consistency and routine (during a year that's been anything but consistent), what your stress level has to do with it, & why being this one thing has a profound, potentially life-saving impact on your kid

After the year we've been living in, I don't need to tell you that if we don't have our collective health we don't have much.


When you focus on these things at home, you never know the ripple effect they will create in the world.
