Parent Them Successful

You may hear a lot about the topic of mindset and how it influences our choices. Oftentimes discussions about mindset are centered around the personal and professional growth of adults, but what about children? How can mindset work help our children become more confident, encourage healthy risk taking, and help them to earn better grades in school? In this episode, I share 5 key highlights from the must-read book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck, that I believe all parents should read if they want to raise children who are happy, resilient, and more motivated to learn. Having the right mindset can change the trajectory of a child’s future for the good!

In a day and age where we often encounter children who may be act in a way that sends the message that the world owes them something or where children are never satisfied with what they do have, it is even more important to teach our children the importance of gratitude.

The purpose of this episode is to heighten your awareness about a very sensitive topic - one we really need to be more open to discussing. And it is suicide. I understand that you may feel uncomfortable talking about it, especially with your child, but there are ways to open up the dialogue and even build your relationship to the point where your child sees you as a safe adult to talk to about their feelings. Most importantly, my special guest and I will be sharing with you some of the signs you should look for if you suspect your child is contemplating suicide and how you can seek help.

Resources Mentioned In this Episode:

What are some of the signs that a youth is contemplating suicide? As parents it is important to focus on what you can See, Hear, Sense, and Learn.

Hear—alone, burden, no purpose, escape
Sense—desperate, hopeless, numb, ashamed
Learn—abuse, losses, rejection, suicide experience

What can parents do if they notice these signs? Ask, Listen, and Keep Safe
Ask-“Are you thinking about suicide?”
Listen—“Let’s talk about this.” “I’m listening.” “This is important.”
Keep Safe—“We need extra help. I want to connect you with someone who can help you keep safe.”

What protective factors need to be in place for suicide prevention?
Effective coping and problem-solving skills
