Is there anything more important than your child’s mental health? In this episode, Maria Winters, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, takes the lead on often-overlooked ways parents can support their kids’ emotional well-being.

Maria shares practical strategies to help children navigate their emotions while also making the case that parents need to do the work on themselves first.

In this episode:

• Why modeling healthy coping strategies is more powerful than any lecture
• The hidden ways parents pass down emotional struggles without realizing it
• How to create a home environment that normalizes talking about mental health
• Why boredom, failure, and distress are actually good for kids
• The difference between truly listening to your child versus just hearing them
