Can parents combat the constant barrage of negative messaging our children receive from school, social media, and societal pressures? Though it seems like an uphill battle, there is hope! Today, Jim welcomes speaker, therapist, and best-selling author Dr. Chinwé Williams to discuss her book, Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens Through the Power of Connection. Together, they explore how intentional presence, positive affirmations, “just listening” and developing grit in your kids can foster resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of self-worth even in the face of life's challenges. If you have children, work with youth, or are a regular caregiver - this episode needs to be bookmarked.
