It's no surprise that so many of us have been struggling with our mental health for all the reasons you already know. Growing up today is no joke and we are all navigating a generation of kids who have never not had a device, access to the internet or social media. My guest is Dr. Deborah Offner, a child psychologist and author, provides valuable insights and strategies for parents and teachers. Our conversation highlights the importance of understanding children's perception of parental stress, the significance of parental involvement during the adolescent years, and the need for collaboration between parents and teachers. Additionally, the episode addresses the challenges faced by teachers, including secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, and emphasizes the role of teachers as first responders in children's lives. This episode is all about recognizing that we have been impacted and what we can do about it.
