We all want our kids to be happy, obviously,  but according to new research, our actions may be preventing them from experiencing needed distress to grow and learn how to cope. This week Sarah and Jen discuss this new research and our own experiences as moms and mental health professionals providing tips and lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Kiddos meeting new friends, transitioning to different schools, maybe even college… but for mommas, this process can also be a bit rough (think first day of kindergarten, last day of high school, college move-in day).  So how do we all get through these times and best prepare our kiddos?

So how do we rise to the occasion as time passes? Listen in!
