Do you or your child struggle with the weight of your feelings?

There is more than one type of sad :(

-Clinical depression (if this is you, professional help is recommended).

-Conditional "downness" as we sometimes call it.

Parents can have a huge influence on their kids (and helping them manage their feelings and sadness).

Some tips to keep you ears out for as you listen... move with (not do for), be ready to steady them through the storm, help them be accountable for the things they say to you, validate their feelings... and a few more for you to find on your own.
