HOW TO RAISE MENTALLY STRONG KIDS

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: RESILIENCE + MENTAL HEALTH

Amy is a psychotherapist, author of four books, and an expert on what makes people mentally strong. She has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and Psychology Today, and her articles reach more than 2 million readers every month.


In this episode, we’re talking about what makes kids resilient, how we can encourage our kids to be the best version of themselves, and what it means to go back to the basics (and how important that is!)


Amy also shares why having some control is really important for children’s development and inner strength, why cultivating gratitude is an important skill to learn early, and how to encourage your kids to say “no” - yes, even if that means they sometimes say no to you!
