Parent Them Successful

Many parents have been asking me to address the issue of shyness in children so today’s episode is dedicated to just that. It’s important to know the difference between shyness and social anxiety so that you as a parent can take the right steps towards getting your child the type of support they need. I have worked with children who have social anxiety and it is clear that they have some deeper fears about what they feel might happen in the future. When I work with shy children, they are often battling a self-confidence issue that can easily be worked on. 

So let’s take a deep dive into these two common childhood issues to help you determine next steps in supporting your child. So hang around for that, and also for your loving reminder and a challenge because it will surely bless you.

We don’t talk enough about childhood mental illnesses, and so that’s why this episode is dedicated to just that. There was a study published in the January 2022 issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America, and the study found that, overall, 21.8 percent of U.S. children ages 3 to 17 have one or more of the common mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions assessed. The prevalence of mental health problems across U.S. children ranged from about 15 to 60 percent, increasing with the type (social, relational, or both) and number of these risks that children had been exposed to. And of course, schools are NOT always fully equipped to deal with them. 

This is why it’s so important for parents and caregivers to take charge of their child’s care and know how to best support them in the process. You are your child’s best advocate. Our special guest, School Psychologist Martin Barriga, shares more about the top 5 common childhood mental illnesses and how parents and caregivers can help children manage their symptoms.

In this episode, I teach you how to hack your child’s mindset and guess what. You will have to hack yours too! Sometimes we may think that we are encouraging our child when we say “good job” and “you’re so smart”, but the pressure that these statements place on our kids often backfire and cause them to not want to try new challenges due to the fear of failure. A child with a growth mindset will look for challenges instead of shying away from them. They often live purposeful and fulfilled lives.  Discover 10 growth mindset hacks that will improve your child's quality of life.

In this episode, I talk about what you can do to support your child when a crisis hits. When you think of crisis as it relates to schools, you may think about a school shooting or tragedy that happens during the school day. But a crisis can also be the death of a classmate, teacher, or favorite administrator. Sometimes these events are predictable as in the case with a person battling cancer, but others can be unforeseen such as in the case of a car accident that happens over the weekend. 

Nevertheless, parents, you are often in a position to provide a large amount of support to your child when such incidents happen, and to help you be more prepared, I share 3 things you MUST know to support your child when crisis hits. I discuss  possible reactions, possible supports, and possible coping strategies, that are all evidence-based. You never know when you will need to use this skill.

Did you know that your child’s early emotional connections can impact future relationships in life? Poor attachment can have negative outcomes on a child’s social-emotional well being and vice versa.

But how do you know if you are creating a healthy attachment bond with your young one? Well, our special guest, Martin Barriga, is going to share not only the detriment of not creating those bonds early on, but also how to identify if your child is on track to having future positive relationships. He will share 5 things you can look for to ensure your child is well-attached.

In this episode, we talk about how to teach your child the creative process. Why is this important? Well, it develops critical thinking skills and helps them become better problem solvers. Problems can be social in nature, academic, relational, but the key is that you want them to be able to be flexible in their thinking so that they can formulate their own ideas and be leaders, rather than always following the crowd. There are just so many benefits to teaching your child the creative process and our special guest, Drew Vernon, child development advocate from Tonies®,  is going to help you understand your role as a parent.

Today, I bring back an awesome previous guest to help me have a conversation about why kids are so stressed these days! Has your child been extra on edge, yelling or screaming at you or maybe withdrawing more than usual? Do you have a child who is self-harming or even no longer interested in going to school? If you can relate to any of these situations, stick around to hear what the problem is and what you can do about it. 

I interview Dr. Kelly, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, about this very topic, and she will be sharing her expertise with us to help us better approach these difficult situations.
