Is there rest for the weary young ones? Based on the previous episode, the teen in that episode talked about how it is getting really hard for them to navigate through life's pressures and there is no support for them, at home or school and unfortunately some have resorted to self-harm. Which they say inflicts physical pain to help numb the emotional one. With 1 in every 12 teens self-harming, should you be concerned? Why are they doing it? What should you look for and how can you help them?...more March 31, 2021Through the eyes of a teenage girl Times continue to change and so do the dynamics of being a teenager: peer pressure, academic strain and more often than not, instability in the home and various forms of abuse. This episode is an interaction with a teenage girl who takes us through a few, yet significant, challenges they are facing.

...more March 04, 2021Thank you, next- Raising resilience Why do superheroes appeal so much to children and a lot of adults? They show us that we can overcome anything and be the best versions of ourselves.
It doesn't always feel like it will get better, but it does, or at least the negative effects reduce significantly. Survival is for the fittest and the world has no mercy on the feeble. That is why we cannot ignore the importance of teaching our children from a young age that it is OK to feel bad sometimes but soon after we have to move on. Resilience is a crucial life skill and this episode shades some light on helping our kids develop it.
...more February 17, 2021My stomach hurts-Anxiety in children What if it is not just a stomachache? Or it has been going on for weeks or just appears during certain events or thoughts? Children are usually not well equipped with the vocabulary or skills to express when anxiety or depression is kicking in and it will manifest in physical symptoms and in the case of teens, if a safe environment to talk about feelings without being ostracized has not been created, it will also manifest in various physical symptoms which we need to be keen on identifying before it gets worse. This episode explores some ways anxiety or depression manifests in children and teens and possible solutions. Listen and share...more January 31, 2021A shelter in the time of storm When a child feels securely attached to his parents, the more his self-worth increases, the more he learns to value others as himself and the easier it is for him to navigate through challenges when they come without feeling it is his fault and does not deserve good things. And these are carried through a lifetime. The earlier we build a safe haven for them, the better, but even if they are adults, it is never too late....more January 12, 2021First comes love If being loved unconditionally helps us see the worth in ourselves, imagine how much more important it is for a child who is still learning what life is, or the teenager who is caught up in the confusion of who they were and who they are becoming. A little bit of affirmed love towards our children, young or old, will go a long way.
