On this episode of Practice Makes Parent, Dr. Danny Huerta and Rebecca St. James discuss strategies for parents to help their children manage emotional baggage. We highlight the importance of addressing the mental health crisis affecting youth, emphasizing dealing with stress, anxiety, and emotional burdens. The conversation, featuring insights from guest Pastor Chris Sasser, focuses on understanding and lightening children's emotional loads through the analogy of 'bags', exploring various types of emotional baggage such as performance pressure, identity struggles, and relational issues. Chris shares his experiences from over 30 years in family ministry, offering practical advice like reducing pressure at home and balancing performance with affirming Godly character. Then we answer a listener voicemail question about aggressive siblings and how to curb physical aggression and teach self control.
